Danny Rae
Our class artist Danny Rae is a self-taught artist who grew up in Whangarei Heads, New Zealand. She is currently living in London, UK.
We found her on the Whangarei Heads arts trail.
Rae creates her art pieces using polymer clay, which is an unusual medium. She creates entirely unique and detailed pieces that are textured and have a subtle 3D effect.
Here are the steps Danny Rae takes to create her design pieces:
Rae finds inspiration in native flora and fauna, with most of her pieces featuring New Zealand birds. Now that she is living in the UK she expects to create work inspired locally as well as from her travels in Central and South America. Her pieces are held in private collections around New Zealand, Australia and the UK.
You can find more of her work on her Whangarei Heads page.
We chose Danny Rae as our class artist as she uses bright colours, New Zealand birds as her inspiration and clay which is an unusual medium. We look forward to being inspired by her work and creating great pieces of art.

Wow Rae class, I had no idea Danny Rae was from Whangarei Heads. I went there on holiday once! I love the kea she created. Have you had a go at creating any art in the same style as Danny?
