Hannah Goggs is the creator and mind behind the brand Moody Rabbit. Hannah works under this name from her home studio where she makes an assortment of wares including artwork, pottery and textiles.
Hannah’s favourite subject matters range from Australian botanicals, ornithology and sometimes quirky and cute characters.
Hannah’s work is always evolving and changing and each piece is uniquely handmade and designed by her.
“A mixed media artist, I am attracted to anything related to flora and fauna and am inspired by Australia’s unique beauty.”
“I love plants, gardening and especially birds. Having completed a horticulture course this has expanded my knowledge and admiration for unique plants. Being a twitcher also helps my art develop as I discover new species.”
“I enjoy representing Australia with our diverse plant and bird life.”
“I am passionate about all things art, birds, landscapes, plants and beauty. Pink being one of my main colour choices, for me it represents beauty giving any subject a delicate, feminine touch.”
“As an artist we adapt, change and explore new avenues. I am constantly evolving and enjoy waking up everyday knowing that I get to create the world around me. My current life will always inspire me and directly influence my work.”

Cocktail Party is a vibrant celebration of Hannah’s life, marking a pivotal moment in her personal and professional journey. Having recently relocated from Western Australia to Queensland, this show captures the spirit of new beginnings and the joyful pursuit of creative opportunity.
Playful and evocative, the collection is infused with colour, warmth, and whimsy. True to her distinctive style, Hannah invites us into a world of soft palettes and thoughtful tones—each piece a reflection of her love for Australian flora and fauna. The show features her signature subjects: cockatoos, eucalyptus, banksias, wattles, and bottlebrush, all rendered with affection and grace.
Cocktail Party draws on light-hearted themes: hats, fruit, and the joyful abstractions of time spent with friends. There’s a romantic charm in the way Hannah captures shared laughter and the simple pleasure of growing edible plants—an echo of her and her partner’s passion for gardening.
Above all, Cocktail Party is about emotion. Through her art, Hannah hopes to evoke calm, joy, happiness, and maybe even a giggle or two. It’s a heartfelt invitation to pause, smile, and celebrate the beauty in everyday moments.
