Episode Portraiture - Sarah Jane Moon
In this episode I interview Sarah Jane Moon, a UK-based painter originally from New Zealand. Sarah Jane's work explores themes of identity, gender, and connection to place, and she is known for her bold use of colour and dynamic compositions. We discuss her journey to becoming a full-time painter, her studies at Heatherley portraiture school, and her experiences working in various places including New Zealand, Japan, and London. The conversation delves into Sarah Jane's process, the challenges and rewards of portraiture, such as balancing visual style with capturing a likeness. We also touch on the practicalities and emotional aspects of creating commissioned portraits, as well as Sarah Jane's thoughts on self-portraits and the influence of her physical painting environment on her work. We also discuss the importance of developing a unique style and the impact of personal connection and narrative in portraiture.
