DISCOVER THE ART OF EMILY SUTTON:

Emily Sutton is a highly acclaimed British artist and illustrator known for her enchanting and detailed works that capture the charm of everyday life and the beauty of the natural world. Born in 1983 in North Yorkshire, England, Sutton’s talent and passion for art were evident from a young age. Sutton pursued her formal education in art at Edinburgh College of Art, where she studied illustration, and later at the Rhode Island School of Design in the United States. Her time at these institutions helped her develop a distinctive style characterized by intricate line work, rich textures, and a whimsical approach to composition. Her artwork often features scenes of domestic interiors, landscapes, and still lifes, infused with a sense of nostalgia and meticulous attention to detail. Sutton’s use of vibrant colours and her ability to imbue her subjects with warmth and personality have made her works widely recognisable and beloved.

In addition to her paintings and prints, Sutton has worked extensively as an illustrator. She has collaborated with numerous authors and publishers, contributing illustrations to children’s books, book covers, and editorial pieces. Notable works include “The Christmas Eve Tree” by Delia Huddy and “Tiny: The Invisible World of Microbes” by Nicola Davies, which showcase her ability to bring stories to life with her enchanting visuals.

One of Sutton’s most notable collaborations has been with Penfold Press, a partnership that has produced a series of exquisite prints. Among these, the “Alphabet Series” stands out as a testament to her ability to blend educational themes with artistic beauty. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a different subject, illustrated with Sutton’s signature intricate detail and vibrant colours. This series not only showcases her artistic versatility but also her talent for creating works that are both visually appealing and pedagogically valuable.
