Raukura Turei is a multi-disciplinary artist, architect, and designer currently based in Aotearoa, New Zealand. She received her Master of Architecture (Prof) from the University of Auckland in 2011 and registered as an Architect with the NZRAB in 2015.

Her artwork has been exhibited throughout Aotearoa including Toi o Tāmaki - Auckland Art Gallery; Toi Moroki - CoCA, Ōtautahi; Objectspace, Tāmaki Makaurau; Te Pātaka Toi - The Adam Art Gallery, Te Whanganui-a-Tara; Bartley and Co, Te Whanganui-a-Tara; Sumer Contemporary, Tauranga and internationally at the Tokyo Art Fair; Sydney Contemporary Art Fair and Day01 Gallery, Sydney.

Turei uses natural materials collected from Papatūānuku in her practice, such as aumoana, a blue clay from her tīpuna whenua of Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki and onepū, black iron sands from Te Uru, Auckland's West coast. Through her research into atua wāhine and her journey in reconnecting with her whakapapa, painting is a tool to connect to her tīpuna. Her paintings evoke the strength of ngā atua wāhine Māori, while meditating on the self, sensuality, and body sovereignty.
