About

She has been a recipient of the Arts Charitable Trust Award, the Bulldog Bursary for Portraiture and is a member of the Contemporary British Portrait Painters. Her work has been featured in Time Magazine, The Guardian, Wallpaper* and Studio International. Moon is originally from New Zealand and has lived in Japan, Malaysia and Australia.
