Evelyn Sutton, a Brazilian-American artist, was profoundly shaped by her upbringing in Brazil, where the tropical themes, vibrant colors, and joie de vivre of the culture left an indelible mark on her artistic identity. Within the realm of art, she discovered her ultimate fulfillment and a powerful means of self-expression. Prior to embracing her identity as a painter, Evelyn delved into the world of Graphic Design, studying at the esteemed Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. For Evelyn, transforming thoughts, colors, brushstrokes, and emotions onto the canvas metamorphosed into an act of courage and defiance. In the nascent stages of her journey, Evelyn identified as an abstract realism painter, favoring the medium of acrylics on canvas. As time passed, her preferences shifted, and she embraced oils, embarking on a self-development pilgrimage into the realms of portraiture and figurative work, honing her realism skills. The evolution of her approach has reached a juncture this year, where she now seamlessly melds acrylics and oils in her paintings, once again creating an engaging interplay of abstract and realism—coming full circle in her artistic voyage of discovery.
