Other Works
Beyond her main collections, Moya Deacon Radley's broader body of work reflects a deep affection for the natural world and the quiet personalities that inhabit it. Her finely detailed artist pencil drawings of New Zealand's native birds and botanicals capture the essence of the country's unique flora and fauna, rendered with both precision and reverence. These works celebrate the intricacies of native species — often overlooked but deeply woven into Aotearoa's living landscape.
Moya also explores botanical themes through the richness of oil paint, using the medium to bring warmth and depth to larger floral compositions. Among these are expressive studies of roses and seasonal blooms, where light, colour, and texture create a sense of immediacy and life. Adding a personal and playful touch, Moya's studio companions — her cats, Picasso and Meeko — have also made their way into her paintings. These portraits capture their quirks and quiet companionship, offering a glimpse into the gentle, everyday moments that shape the artist's world.
