Raewyn Helms-Davis
Pastels and oil painting

I have been a painter and portrait artist since 2001 and came to live in Whitianga in 2014.
I am currently working on a series of large paintings in mixed media which are a venture into an
exciting new direction and which will be available to see during the upcoming Art Escape.
I also continue to use pastels for commission portraits and am available for private workshops in the
use of pastel.
My new studio, Art Loft, is located centrally in town and easy for visitors to find.
I have exhibited in Auckland, Mercury Bay, the National Portrait Gallery in Wellington and have
sold many paintings internationally. I have been a long-time member of both the Mercury Bay Art
Escape and PANZ (Pastel Artists New Zealand).
