Emerging artist Henrietta Harris is making a name for herself in commercial and fine arts, and now she's dabbling in science.

She's one of 15 artists who've teamed up with brain researchers at Auckland University to create an exhibition that celebrates the beauty of the human brain.

Delving into the complexities of the human brain is never an easy job, but it's something artist Harris is facing head on, showcasing her abstract work for the first time at the Do You Mind exhibition.

The exhibition is the result of project at the university matching 15 emerging artists with scientists from the Centre for Brain Research.

This is in accurate. The University did not pair the artists with the researchers. An independant arts company did. This is not a university project. This was only endorsed and supported by the CBR.
