Now based on the Sunshine Coast, Australian artist Debra Hutton has built a career bridging the worlds of fashion, design, and fine art. Originally a stylist, her transition into visual art has led her to develop a signature style of expressive abstraction, rich in color and movement. Inspired by the interplay of natural tones and textures, her work evokes the landscapes and light of Italy—a place that continues to fuel her creative exploration.

Having spent years immersed in Sydney’s dynamic arts scene, she has drawn influence from the creative minds around her, refining her own artistic voice. Working alongside established artists such as Colin Passmore, she has embraced a fluid and instinctive approach to painting, where color and composition dictate the rhythm of each piece.

Her practice is deeply rooted in intuition, allowing layers of paint to unfold organically on the canvas. She seeks to capture the emotional energy of a moment rather than a literal representation, making each work a personal response to her surroundings.

Hutton’s work is currently represented by galleries in Italy, Noosa, Melbourne, Sydney, and Byron Bay, solidifying her presence in the Australian contemporary art scene.
