2012 Debra Britten
Thursday, 26 April 2012
Our 2012 Mercedes-Benz Artist in Residence was Debra Britten. Debra is a graduate of the Wellington Polytechnic School of Design. She has worked as a freelance designer, calligrapher, textile printer and illustrator, spent many years in hospitality and is now working full-time as an artist.

 

As part of her brief, Debra employed unconventional methods that incorporate colour and mark-making into her works, in order to encourage art students to look at different ways in which to express their creativity.
