Krista Sutton is a Toronto (NYC, and Los Angeles) based full-time and
passionate multi-creative.. An accomplished international, Dora
Award Nominated and award winning actor/singer/writer Sutton is
a graduate of Toronto, Canada’s renowned UC Drama Program. She
has studied and worked with some of the world’s most influential
creatives: Robert Lepage (Canada), Herbert Olschok, (Germany)
Jean-Jacques LeMetre (France), Paolo Consiglio (Italy), and Robert
Wilson (USA). An artist on stage and off she has worked as
leather mask-maker, set designer, set builder, costumier, Artistic
Director and many creative roles in between. If something creative
is happening she. is drawn in. Her intricate pen and ink (and
sometimes watercolor, gouache) art works in concert with allher
artistic endeavors and mediums to inform and influence each other.
Working for hours and days and months on each pen and ink piece, v
Krista Sutton’s highly detailed inky works are rarely planned but
emerge organically and in the moment. Nature’s patterns, layers, depth, rawness, unrestraint, unabashed
seductiveness, organized. chaos and how the relationship with our environment - both nature's own and
human-made - shapes our memories and. experiences inspire her. On these paper fields are childhood sense
memories of bulrushes, berries and bees, remote cabins and
intoxicating cities, objects that inspire sentimentality and yearning - to put pen to paper and let these
memories (not without their fair share of nostalgia!)
emerge is a daily meditation. Her goal is to inspire others to come along with her. Through Sutton’s capturing
of tiny details and the “smaller. picture” of nature and our environment, a larger picture and emotional
response can emerge.
