The Abundance Collection is a Series of animals that represent abundance, luck and prosperity painstakingly painted in hyper detail on antique jumbo playing cards. The series on a deeper level is about his humanity plays with Nature like it’s a game to be won or conquered, but Nature is actually the abundance we desire and is abundant in itself if we look after it and give it half a chance. 
In many cultures the Wren is associated with luck and good fortune. In Celtic mythology, the wren was considered the "King of all birds". The wren was said to have won a contest to see who could fly the highest by sitting on the back of an eagle and flying higher when the eagle got tired! In Europe, it was generally believed that killing a wren or its nest was forbidden (quite right!) because the bird was known for its good fortune.
