Description / background:
“Fields of Cream” is an abstract composition built from soft cream and warm neutral grounds over which blocks of coral, magenta, turquoise and deep blue hover and overlap. Loose drawn lines, scraped passages and glimpses of underpainting create a sense of shifting structures, like fragments of landscape or city grids emerging and dissolving. Painted in the artist’s Irish studio in 2026, it forms part of a series exploring memory, colour and place, where luminous pastels are set against darker notes to create rhythm and contrast.

Lucy Birch is an abstract painter based on the west coast of Ireland. Trained in graphic design and later in product and furniture design, she spent years working in other fields before returning to her creative practice in her forties. Her work is intuitive and bold, acrylics on canvas shaped by the Atlantic landscape, its light, weather and coastline. She layers colour and transparency to build depth, leaving the history of each painting visible in its surface.
