Prussian Sea Sienna Sands I

Acrylic paints on canvas paper.
Signed certificate of authenticity.

Inspired by the changing reflections of light and shadow across the ocean, this textured abstract was created during an unexpected hailstorm. The dramatic weather became part of the painting process, adding another layer of movement and energy to the finished piece.

Part of the "Prussian Sea & Sienna Sands" series, this textured abstract explores shifting light across the Australian coastline through layered palette knife textures and rich coastal colours.

Contemporary Coastal & Australian Abstract Artist.
Colour, texture and the raw beauty of Australia are at the heart of Deb Chorlton's work. Painting from her light-filled studio on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, Deb creates richly layered abstracts that capture the atmosphere of the Australian coastline, landscape and outback — from the meeting of land and sea to the ancient stillness of Uluru.

Working primarily in acrylics with palette knife techniques, Deb builds up texture and depth to create works that feel alive with movement and light. Her pieces are designed to bring warmth, colour and a sense of place into the spaces they inhabit.

Art has been a constant thread throughout Deb's life — from childhood sketching to a career in graphic design. Like many creatives, the demands of raising a family and running a business gradually pushed painting into the background. But the desire to create proved impossible to ignore. Following a period of burnout and personal reflection, she returned to the work that had always called her — and hasn't looked back since.
