A curated collection of rarely seen paintings by the Newtown based artist Paul Forrest. These artworks have been selected from Paul’s secret treasure vault and from the walls of the artist’s own home and span a 30 year art career.

This collection is an installation by the Real Art Roadshow team of artist/educator Paul Forrest and artist/arts patron Fiona Campbell.  As an art education experience the Real Art Roadshow stimulated the imaginations of over 300,000 people young and old at schools and public places all over New Zealand. 

Drawing from that experience Paul has developed a series of fun observation games and drawing exercises he knows will motivate the artist in all of us.
