I welcome you to explore my growing collection of Southland Abstract art, brimming with colour, hope, and a zap of spark. Maintaining a positive focus in my artwork is crucial because I truly believe that the world needs all the optimism any of us can muster. My works are created to add a bit of colour and joy into your spaces.
‘Abundance’ and ‘Mountain’ works are my latest. Earlier debuted was the complete ‘Red Playground’ series. ‘Hurly Burly’ and ‘Moving On’ collections, my first two debuted collections, are shown further down.

Go bold or go home! Especially, when plans go awry!
Take the Abundance Series for example. I did not want Quickening and Abounding to simply imitate Hoo Hah and Ruckus, their inspiring works. Nonetheless, after a week or so they seemed to be doing just that.
Can you really benefit from the frenzy of cranking out a lot of art? What happens when you are making maybe too much art, at the same time?
Play in the studio is what I’m doing for the next twelve months to boost creativity. I’ve taken notice of what children, the experts, do.
I used pigment ink pen to create patterns to give contrast and direction to my derivative work, ‘Let’s Have a Ball! A conversational abstract’
Bold or Confronting?? By using my chisel point pigment pen have I’ve made ‘Red Playground-Finish what you started’ simply bold or largely confronting.
You can analyse your art work to better understand the success of a finished work and learn to talk about your work using the language of art.
Hurly Burly, an experimental studio adventure explores an exhilarating interplay between tumult and tranquility.
‘Moving On’, a significant studio conquest and personal victory, arises from a year-long dive into abstraction, after a life-time of narrative realism.
Here’s a complete list of my art works I made between late 2019 and March 2025. It goes along with the post, “The Best Thing for your Creativity in 2025”
