The Artist in Residence Programme was established to assist our students by exposing them to different artists, broadening their perspectives and helping them develop their own portfolios. Photographer, Adrienne Martyn was the inaugural recipient of the residency, which was sponsored by the Marsden Parents’ Association, spending five weeks at the school producing images for an exhibition while working with senior students. Adrienne’s theme for the exhibition was a study water at Seatoun, titled “Tide”.  Adrienne Martyn is well known for her black-and-white portraits of prominent New Zealand artists, taken in the 1980s, and her work is in collections in the Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa, the Dowse Art Museum, Auckland City Gallery, the Hocken Library, the University of Canterbury and the Robert McDougall Art Gallery.
