Sarah Jane Moon is a New Zealand born British painter who specialises in portraiture and figurative painting. Her work explores identity, gender and connection to place. Working at scale, her paintings are suffused with bold colour, dynamic surface and gestural use of her chosen medium: oil.

Her work is held in the collections of the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, Soho House and the James Wallace Trust.

She has exhibited widely, including with the National Portrait Gallery, Royal Society of Portrait Painters, New English Art Club and the New Zealand Portrait Gallery. As a prize winner in the Queer Britain Art Awards and recipient of the Arts Charitable Trust Award and the Bulldog Bursary for Portraiture her work has consistently been recognised for its ambition and singularity. It has also been featured in Time Magazine, The Guardian, Wallpaper*, Studio International and other publications.

She is a member of the Contemporary British Portrait Painters.

In the UK, Moon works in London and Sussex and when in New Zealand she paints in the Bay of Plenty.
