Pru “Babe” Davis is an East Cape artist whose work is deeply rooted in the rugged beauty of one of New Zealand's most remote and storied coastlines.

With a remarkable gift for capturing moana in her work, she brings an exceptional sensitivity to the way light dances across water, the surge of a wave, and the quiet pull of the tide.

Her art reflects a profound connection to “The Coast”, shaped by years of living and creating on the edge of land and sea.

Through her work, Pru invites viewers into the untamed spirit of the East Cape - a celebration of a coastline that is as compelling as it is wild.

Pru is exhibiting at Matawhero Wines in Gisborne from 15 April to 15 June 2026, a fitting setting to experience her evocative coastal art.
