Collections

Moya's body of work is thoughtfully grouped into a number of collections, which are unified by a deep attentiveness to the natural world, explored through carefully chosen mediums and themes. Her work moves between the botanical and the domestic, the cultivated and the wild, with each series offering a distinct perspective on the beauty that surrounds us. Whether working in the studio, or painting outdoors, Moya brings sensitivity and precision to every piece.

Botanicals on Black

This series of artist pencil drawings set against velvety black backgrounds bring the quiet drama of plant life into focus. Each botanical subject is rendered in fine detail, allowing the viewer to contemplate its structure, fragility and form in an almost sculptural way.

You are invited to explore the collection here: Botanicals in Black. 

The Iris Collection

Painted in oils, these works celebrate the elegance and symbolism of irises. With their intricate folds and vibrant colours, each flower is treated as a unique character, captured at its most expressive moment in richly layered brushwork.

New Zealand Butterflies

Delicate and translucent, this series showcases native Aotearoa butterflies drawn in artist pencil on drafting film. The medium enhances the sense of fragility and flight, echoing the fleeting presence of these beautiful creatures in the landscape.

Still Life

This contemplative series captures the beauty of everyday forms. Through sensitive composition and a focus on light, Moya transforms humble fruit and vegetables into quiet meditations on texture, colour and the rhythms of domestic life.

You are welcome to explore this collection from here: Still Life.

Landscape and Plein Air

Rooted in her love for the New Zealand environment, Moya's landscape work often begins en plein air, painted on location in the changing light of the Canterbury region. These pieces range from quick impressions to more developed oil works, capturing the energy, movement and spirit of the land. From coastal edges to inland plains, her landscapes reflect a personal dialogue with place - grounded, observant, and deeply felt.

Other Works

In addition to her main collections, Moya has created a number of standalone works that reflect her deep connection to the natural world. These include delicate artist pencil studies of New Zealand's native birds and botanicals, as well as expressive oil paintings of botanical subjects that celebrate the timeless beauty of floral form.
