Artist Statement

Night Flowers is a large mixed media painting that explores colour, movement, and expressive mark-making. A dark background contrasts with a vibrant central field of lilac, blue, pink, white, green and soft pastels, punctuated by small flashes of red.

Built through layers of paint, stencilling, spray paint and visible brushstrokes, the surface is rich with texture and energy. Rather than depicting flowers literally, the work suggests growth and bloom through gesture and colour, inviting the viewer into a dynamic, immersive experience. It is inspired by the way in which flowers look luminous at dusk.

Did you know...The Purkinje effect is when certain colours stand out at dusk and relates to how the human eye perceives light in dim conditions.

About Alice

Alice Blue is a contemporary abstract artist based in Brisbane, Queensland, specialising in intuitive and emotive artworks inspired by nature, childhood creativity, and holistic wellbeing. 

Raised in London, Alice’s early life was filled with artistic experiences — from drawing around the kitchen table to visiting galleries, gardens, and exhibitions. These formative experiences continue to influence her artistic expression today. Now living in Brisbane, Alice creates and sells original abstract paintings that are soulful, free-spirited, and deeply expressive. Her journey into intuitive painting was shaped by a belief in the emotional and therapeutic value of art.

This philosophy led her to complete a Diploma in Art Therapy, and she now facilitates creative art workshops for adults focused on wellbeing through artistic exploration. Inspired by the natural beauty of Moreton Bay, Brisbane’s coastal landscapes, and her experience as an early childhood art educator, Alice’s work is known for its vibrant colour palettes, spontaneity, and emotional depth.

In addition to original artwork sales, Alice also offers art for licensing and was recently awarded a prize at the Royal Queensland Art Society’s 'Materially Designed' Exhibition.
