Mark Ussher - Artist and Designer. At the end of 2004 moved from Anvil House in Wellington City to Newtown. Mark is also
involved with the leading of courses at The Learning Connection. There are two areas set up in Mark studio, one for
painting and one for design work. ‘Both inspire each other [and] there are big overlaps between the two; there’s a grey
area. A lot of the more experimental design work is more over towards art and a lot of the art stuff I do is going back
towards graphic design.’ Mark's Studio is at 84 Constable Street, Newtown and is open by arrangement - contact 3897131.
