Each artwork is an original — created with intention, designed to belong.

🌿 The Nature Series

The Nature Series draws on the organic textures and tones of New Zealand’s landscape — earth, forest, stone, and light. Each painting channels the quiet poetry of the natural world into pieces designed to live in balance with architecture and interior form.

These works are not imitations of nature, but interpretations of its calm energy — art that belongs, not competes.

Of Stillness

Art that breathes with the room.

“This is art that listens.
It doesn’t decorate space;
it deepens it.”

Minimalist white and grey textured acrylic painting by New Zealand artist and interior designer Shanly Simpson — layered brushwork with subtle tonal depth, evoking light on stone.

Expansive yet understated, Veil of Stillness is a large-scale abstract work that brings serenity to architectural spaces. Layers of soft white and stone grey create a sense of depth and calm, making it an ideal anchor for open, light-filled interiors.

Neutral-toned abstract acrylic painting by New Zealand artist and interior designer Shanly Simpson, styled above a modern white freestanding bath with minimalist design elements.

Of Earth

Grounded tones. Quiet strength. Warmth that remembers the soil.

Echoes of Gold hums with warmth and stillness — a dialogue between groundedness and transcendence. The painting gathers the tones of soil, light, and memory into a quiet shimmer, where time seems to soften and presence becomes its own kind of luxury.

“Here, painting becomes an act of belonging—
not an image of the land,
but a moment within it.”

Golden Canopy captures the quiet warmth of sunlight through trees. This nature-inspired abstract glows with soft greens and golden tones, bringing life and balance to bright, modern interiors.

Ember Ground evokes warmth and strength — a layered composition of earthen hues, shadow, and light. It anchors a space with grounded sophistication, creating harmony between nature and contemporary design.

Aurora of the Fields captures the moment where warmth and clarity meet — a visual breath between earth and air. Shanly’s work here feels meditative yet alive, shimmering with both memory and awakening. It holds the quiet confidence of light discovering itself.

“The paintings do not describe the world;
they inhabit it —
an invitation to slow down,
to touch, to see, to be seen.”

Fields of Light embodies the moment when illumination becomes peace. Shanly’s palette here suggests quiet radiance — sunlight settling into silence, the harmony between outer light and inner calm. It invites rest, gratitude, and deep seeing.

Of Water & Reflection

Depth, calm, and the slow exhale of quiet beauty.

Water’s Memory holds the calm rhythm of reflection — teal and turquoise tones layered in tranquil harmony. This work speaks to stillness, depth, and the quiet pulse of natural motion

Still Water captures the meeting of water and light — layers of teal, turquoise, and soft neutrals evoke fluid calm. This piece brings freshness and balance, infusing interiors with the serenity of open air and quiet motion.

Quiet Tide embodies the quiet elegance of calm reflection — deep teal tones dissolve into soft light, offering stillness and depth. A statement of tranquility designed to harmonise with its surroundings.

Each piece understands proportion and serenity. Created through the artist's eye and the designer's mind, these works offer balance. They transform a room's atmosphere without ever raising their voice.

In this part of the journey, illumination is no longer something seen —
it’s something felt.
Like warmth on the skin,
or peace finding its own reflection.

Midnight Reflection embodies reflection in motion — deep blues, soft greys, and metallic glints flow like moonlight over still water. It brings quiet intensity and depth to sophisticated interiors.

Of Air

Grounded in earth. Lifted by light.

Verdant Zephyr is a round, sage-washed abstract that carries the softness of moving air. Layered strokes drift across the circular canvas, echoing leaves and light in a calm, biophilic palette. Designed to sit quietly within a space, it pairs beautifully with natural textures, stone, and indoor greenery—art that doesn’t shout; it breathes.

“In every piece, there is an invitation to pause,
to listen,
to see again
as if for the first time.”

Lunar Calm evokes reflection and stillness — a circular abstract that feels both grounded and ethereal. Its silvery hues and soft transitions create a gentle focal point, harmonising effortlessly with natural and minimalist interiors.

Whispering Tide moves beyond the light and into breath — a gentle meeting between air and sea. Shanly’s circular form feels like a portal of calm, where the boundaries between elements blur. This work is a meditation on renewal — a returning to softness after brilliance.

When you leave, the rooms seem altered —
not redesigned, just understood.
The art remains behind,
but its echo moves with you,
a quiet brightness carried home in the chest.
