Botanical Reveries

A contemplative collection inspired by the quiet beauty of the natural world.

Through botanical studies in oil and artist pencil, these works explore light, atmosphere, fragility, and the emotional resonance held within flowers and garden forms. Each painting is an invitation to pause, to notice the subtle poetry found in petals, shifting colour, and fleeting moments of stillness.

Created through careful observation and a deep appreciation for nature's rhythms, Botanical Reveries reflects an ongoing exploration of presence, memory, and connection.

Irises in Reflection

The Iris Collection explores the elegance, movement, and quiet drama of these extraordinary blooms. Drawn to their sculptural petals, luminous colour, and shifting interplay with light, Moya approaches each iris as both a botanical study and an emotional landscape.

These works reflect themes of fragility, grace, and transformation, moments where light briefly rests against delicate forms before passing on.

A Love Written in Paeonia

This collection explores the peony not as a subject of botanical study, but as a language of presence, beauty, and impermanence. Each work holds a different encounter with the genus Paeonia, where bloom becomes a moment of intensity, full, fleeting, and quietly dissolving as it is seen.

Through oil paint, these flowers are held in states of suspension: unfolding, lingering, and gently fading. Layers of colour and light trace the tension between abundance and restraint, surface and depth, arrival and disappearance.

The title suggests a kind of inscription, love written not in words, but in petals, form, and light. What emerges across the collection is less about capturing the flower itself, and more about what it reveals in the act of close attention: that beauty is always temporary, and all the more vivid because of it.

Wings of Stillness

The Butterfly Collection reflects an enduring fascination with transformation, fragility, and fleeting moments of connection within the natural world.

Suspended between movement and stillness, these works explore the delicate presence of these New Zealand butterflies as symbols of change, lightness, and quiet wonder. Through careful observation and atmospheric detail, each piece seeks to preserve a moment that feels both ephemeral and timeless.
