Biography
[edit]Sutton was born in 1947 in Southend-on-Sea, Essex.[1] She attended Southend College of Technology then studied at Winchester School of Art. Sutton lived for a year in Antwerp,[2] where Queen Fabiola of Belgium purchased one of her works from her studio at the Antwerp Academy.[3] Sutton then attended the Royal College of Art in London, graduating in 1974.[2]
Her works are often based on mythological themes with an autobiographical perspective and dreamlike quality,[4] such as her work Perseus and Andromeda II.[5] She has also produced works inspired by characters from Italian theatrical works and operas, such as Don Giovanni, Faust, Desdemona, Rosina, and Rusalka.[3] She has also painted portraits of opera singers, such as Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu.[6]
Sutton's paintings are held in the collections of the Tate Gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts,[7] and the Sainsbury Collection.[4] She has also been a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.[3] Sutton has also spent much of her life in Calabria, Italy, and became the first non-Italian artist to hold an exhibition in the Chiesa della Badia.[3]
From 2022, Sutton has been president of the Small Paintings Group.[8]
