Newby was born in 1979 in the Auckland region of New Zealand.[2] She attended the Elam School of Fine Arts, receiving a BFA in 2001, an MFA in 2007, and a PhD in 2015.[3] The title of her doctoral thesis was Casualness: it's not about what it looks like it's about what it does.[4]
Newby is a mixed materials installation artist.[5] She creates her installations based on their site and setting, often disused urban environments.[6] Using commonplace materials such as pebbles, nails, and rope, her work explores the details of everyday life.[7]
Newby was a member of the Auckland artist space Gambia Castle.[8]
