Maria Fletcher lives and works in Suffolk, creating vibrant still lifes that celebrate the uplifting presence of flowers. Inspired by the Scottish Colourists, she brings a contemporary energy to the genre, pairing traditional blooms with bold ceramics, textiles, and pattern-rich surfaces to create works full of joy, colour, and movement.
Alongside her painting practice, Fletcher is a lecturer in Graphic Design, and this instinct for composition is evident in her work. Her confident use of colour and pattern balances exuberance with clarity, producing paintings that feel both playful and assured.
Following the success of her debut solo exhibition, Fletcher now presents Flourish, a new body of work that marks a confident next step. Richer in layering, bolder in scale, and more immersive in effect, these paintings reflect an artist deepening her visual language and working with growing confidence.
