Painting New Zealand
Having spent the past two decades living across Asia, Australia, and the UK, I’ve loved every opportunity to return home to New Zealand. These visits are more than just reunions with family - they’re a chance to revisit and reconnect with the place that shaped me. Each trip, I make it a priority to paint, drawing inspiration from New Zealand’s extraordinary clarity of light, vast open spaces, and the breathtaking diversity of its native plants and birds.
The paintings and prints below are personal responses to this remarkable landscape and its vibrant bird life. Each work holds evocative memories and portrays the beauty and uniqueness of this country’s light and atmosphere.
For a limited time, these works are available at special prices and exclusively for purchase in New Zealand. This collection will only be available until January 5th, so don’t miss the chance to acquire a piece from this distinctive series. Postage and packaging within NZ is included.
If a particular painting resonates with you or if you’d like to know more, I’d love to hear from you. Please email info@sarahjanemoon.com to enquire.
