Raglan Surf Co x Lucy Collab

Lucy Galbraith is a self-taught Raglan-based artist and former member of the Raglan Surf Co team. A few weeks after hiring Lucy, we discovered that she wasn't just one of the wittiest employees we've ever had but also an incredible artist.

Lucy's work is predominantly in oil paint, but she also works in acrylics, pencil, charcoal, digital and mixed media.

Her recent work draws inspiration from personal nostalgia and the charm of the West Coast's various sub-cultures. Choosing subjects typical to the narratives of small-town New Zealand, she captures the underrated beauty of pig dogs, burn outs, car wrecks and cowboys in both realist and semi-abstract styles.

Witty, talented, and humble, Lucy was never one to make a big song and dance about her art while at the shop. Since she no longer works for us, she doesn't get to proofread this post, and we can now brag about her and her amazing talent.

Over the years we've gotten to see Lucy's art in person at various art shows, including the Raglan Arts Weekend, and it's still blowing our minds.

If you haven't had the chance to explore her work, visit her website and make sure to follow her on Instagram for an upclose look at her creative brilliance.

We are thrilled to officially announce the collaboration between Raglan Surf Co and Lucy, marking the release of the first ever Lucy tee. Watching her interpretation of our West Coast waves come to life was a treat and we're grateful to her for trusting us to turn her vision of the first Lucy tee into a reality.

The Raglan Surf Co x Lucy print is now available both in-store and online. Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of Lucy's unique and captivating artistry.
