It's a peach, it's at the jam factory, it is not a hairy butt with a twig in it. Honest.

Deborah Hughes is living parts and wholes, #regional fashionista, multidisciplinary artist and theatre maker in rural South Australia.

Deb is visiting Australia from Great Kiwi Land. She currently lives in regional South Australia with most of her immediate family. She is a secondary school science teacher, former adventure guide, and ex Company Manger of D’faces, Whyalla’s multidisciplinary youth arts facility. Deb recently left her role as Arts and Cultural Facilitator at the Whyalla City Council in partnership with Country Arts SA to return to teaching. She is currently based at Whyalla Town Primary school, she taught for three years as the specialist Arts teacher and is now wrangling the year 5/6 curiiculum. Deb is also Living Parts and Wholes, an artistic practice that is really an indulgence of all she finds interesting. She continues her involvement with D’faces as Chair of the Board of Governance and sits on the Board for Patch Theatre.

Deb has a strong commitment to the transformative power of creative engagement, the importance of creativity to our young people’s lives, future and current economy and just generally because it makes the world a better and more interesting place to be.

She has managed multiple youth projects and community engagements from public art works to pop up events and exhibitions, workshops and theatre. She is currently working on small public art interactions and a two person theatre work with her daughter ‘Advice from My Mother’, based on two years of messenger exchanges as her daughter navigates adulthood.
