Raised in the Waikato, Raewyn has never forgotten the tutelage gained from many performers and teachers who had been in the theatre a lot longer than her.
Proud to be Local — brought to you by CFM — is our inspirational feature, highlighting home-grown Coromandel Peninsula folks doing wonderful things out in the world.
We are delighted to be partners for the Coromandel Open Studios Arts Tour, a wonderful annual event that celebrates the vibrant artistic community in and around Coromandel Town.
For many years, the Coromandel Town area has had a reputation as a notable centre for arts and crafts in New Zealand. Talented artists are often drawn here from other areas not just for the beautiful views but also the lively art community. Every year since 2006, many of these artists have been opening up their studios on the first two weekends of October, for the Coromandel Open Studios Arts Tour.
For the longest time, all I really wanted was a little cabin in the woods where I could draw, paint, surf, and maybe rock out to a party or three if the isolation got too much.
I wake early and busy myself with packing a bag, fussing over a layered outfit – Melbourne’s weather can be more volatile than home – then anxiously sift through old writings in an attempt to reassure myself that I have at least a semblance of know-how, worthy of the weekend ahead.
