The Deep Blue Canvas
The Deep Blue Canvas, a name given by my son, explores the depth and subtle variations of blue through layers of translucent colour.
Working with shades of deep blue, aqua, turquoise and soft whites, I explore the interaction of colour, light and transparency. The composition develops through successive layers, allowing traces of earlier colours to remain visible beneath the surface.
I am particularly drawn to the details that emerge through this process, where overlapping tones, delicate transitions and remnants of underlying layers create a sense of depth and movement.
The Deep Blue Canvas reflects my interest in the expressive possibilities of colour and the way layering can reveal complexity within a seemingly limited palette. The work invites closer observation, where subtle details and variations become more apparent over time.

Named by my son, “The Deep Blue Canvas”, this artwork has wispy whites, dark blues and the in-betweens. There are shades of blue, aqua, turquoise and countless hues that emerge from layered, translucent colours. I love the details of this painting where you can see the remnants of the shades underneath a layer.

“The Deep Blue Canvas” series was named by my son.
The Deep Blue Canvas 2 & 3 diptych explores the depth, movement and subtle variations of blue through two interconnected abstract compositions.
Working with a palette of deep blues, turquoise, aqua and soft whites, I explore the interaction of colour, transparency and layered forms. Fluid washes overlap and merge, creating organic shapes and transitions that suggest depth and movement without representing a specific landscape.
The two panels complement one another through their shared palette and visual rhythm. Lighter, translucent areas contrast with deeper, more saturated blues, while traces of underlying colours remain visible, adding complexity and dimension to the surfaces.
The artworks in the diptych can also be seen as separate entities and be installed on their own.
