Raye Catran was born in Tauranga, attended Elam Art School and taught art for several years. She is a full time artist working from her home studio in Tauriko. Raye won the Ethel McMillan Award at the 2012 Miles Art Awards. Her works are held in private collections throughout New Zealand and overseas.
Her 2013 exhibition at the Tauranga Art Gallery, Raye Catran: State of the House, was inspired by a lifelong interest in houses and curiosity about the people who live in them. She believes that while we have learned to appreciate the heritage of the Victorian villa, we have yet to fully appreciate the rich social and design heritage of the unique New Zealand state house.
