Nic Moon (born 1968) is a New Zealand multidisciplinary artist based in Nelson, New Zealand.
Moon grew up in a rural village near the Hunua Ranges Regional Park, south-east of Auckland, and attended boarding school in Auckland City. [1]
Moon graduated from the University of Canterbury with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1990 and RMIT University, Melbourne with a Master of Fine Arts in 2002. [2] Moon's decision to enrol in the BFA programme at age 17 was influenced by a visiting group exhibition protesting at the 1985 Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior. Moon was drawn to the idea that art could directly respond to life's challenges. [3]
Over the course of her career, Moon has explored a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture and photography. Moon's work often responds to ecological and conservation concerns. [3] Her early work was inspired by Ecofeminist artists such as Ana Mendieta, as well as the writings of Lucy R. Lippard. [3]
