Eileen Sutton

"My forms are definitely influenced by the color and materials I use, along with what I see in the world around me."

When Eileen Sutton pierced her first piece of copper plate at age seventeen, she was instantly hooked. During her early training, she discovered epoxy resin, a material that excited her with its color possibilities and technical challenges.

Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Sutton studied at Tyler School of Art. Her first studio was in the space of the late Olaf Skoogfors, a pioneer in the field of art jewelry—an experience that paved the way for where she would go with her work.
