About

Rakiura Art Gallery specializes in unique photographic prints showcasing the natural elements and objects of Stewart Island (Rakiura), New Zealand. Owned and operated by local residents Rebecca-Lynn Cavanagh Smith and Zane Smith, the gallery is situated in their home on the island. Zane Smith, a sixth-generation Stewart Island crayfisherman and pฤua diver, brings a deep connection to the island's heritage. A significant portion of sales contributes to the Rakiura Rugrats Early Learning Centre, reflecting their commitment to the community.
