Mary West studied painting at the Slade School of Fine Art. One summer evening in 2017 her collaboration with Clara Wilkinson was born. Pooling their 40 years experience as freelance artists and their shared love of nature and similar design aesthetic, Living Wall Murals came into being. Specialising in finely painted murals ranging from bold and graphic, to delicate detailed foliage, their work can be found in corporate and hospitality spaces, domestic homes and as public art commissions.
Mary also paints canvases from her studio in West London, selling and exhibiting widely. Her paintings veer between abstraction and figuration, where the play of colour and movement is at their heart. Her work is in private collections in the UK, USA, Denmark, Hong Kong and Australia.
