Peto was born in London to Major Sir Ralph Harding Peto and Frances Ruby Vera Lindsay, a family of artists, and studied drawing at the Westminster School of Art during 1931 and 1932 and then, after a career break, at the Royal College of Art from 1953 to 1956.[1][2] A medical course led Peto to an interest in biology and plants and both plant and flowers featured heavily in her first solo exhibition at the Sally Hunt & Patrick Seale Fine Art gallery in 1985.[1][2] After her marriage to Victor Montagu, Peto was known as Viscountess Hinchingbroke.[3] After her death, at Salisbury in Wiltshire, a retrospective exhibition of her paintings was held at the Mall Galleries in London during 1999.[1]
