  • Artbay Gallery - Debra Hutton

Debra Hutton is a Sunshine Coast–based visual artist known for her vibrant expressionist abstract paintings that explore colour, composition, and memory.

Originally from Toowoomba, Queensland, Hutton spent 14 years travelling internationally as a flight attendant with Qantas. These experiences profoundly inform her artistic practice, providing ongoing inspiration drawn from diverse cultures, landscapes, and light.

Now based in Noosa, her work reflects a strong connection to Italy and the Mediterranean, alongside impressions gathered from Japan, Australia, and Hawaii. Influenced by Impressionist masters such as Van Gogh, Monet, and Renoir, Hutton’s paintings balance expressive freedom with a considered approach to colour and form.

Painting, for Hutton, is a way of translating feeling and memory into visual language, capturing not just places, but how they are experienced.
