Golden Moonlight - Original Painting

"Golden Moonlight" is a mesmerising contemporary painting by Joanne Barrett, offering an evocative reflection on the enduring spirit of the Hokianga Harbour.

Inspired by the constantly shifting moods and colours of the Hokianga, this piece uses a powerful, minimal geometry to capture the landscape's essence.

Gentle, golden hills rise above deep, tranquil waters rendered in rich, vertical stripes. Above, a luminous moon sheds cool light, while the bold, curved icon at the center of the land acknowledges and embraces future generations.

This painting is more than a vista; it’s a contemplation of how the spirit of this place has enriched past generations and continues to enrich the present.

Barrett’s work seamlessly blends abstract structure with deep cultural resonance.
