Ko Taupiri te maunga
Ko Te Puehu o Waikato te moana
Ko Waikato te awa
Ko Tainui te waka
Ko Waikato te iwi
Ko Ngāti Tamaoho te hapū
Ko Mangatangi te marae
Nō Tāmaki Makaurau ahau
Ko Sara Moana tōku ingoa
Sara Moana (pronouns: she/her) was born in Aberystwyth, Wales in 1996 and is currently based in Auckland | Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa | New Zealand. Sara is both Welsh and Māori descent (Ngāti Tamaoho, Tainui), who works in illustration; creating art full-time after graduating with her Masters degree in May 2022. She holds a Master of Fine Arts with First Class Honours from Elam School of Fine Arts | The University of Auckland (2022) and a Bachelor of Fine Arts with First Class Honours (2020).
Sara’s practice explores topics such as identity, mental health, queerness, body-image, existentialism, and feminism. A subversive yet witty approach to serious themes is continuous to Sara’s style of work in illustration; aiming to create a safe space that is both light-hearted and approachable for the work to stimulate open conversations in everyday life.
