About K. Sutton
Where Color Psychology Meets Artistic Mastery
K. Sutton creates contemporary oil paintings that challenge viewers to see beyond the surface. Known for a distinctive layering technique that begins with strategically bright foundations, each work builds complexity through careful color psychology and emotional intelligence.
Every painting starts with intention. Orange backgrounds for landscapes create those signature "sunshine ray effects" when other colors are layered over them. Bright greens and light blues form the foundation for portraits, ensuring that even contemplative subjects maintain an underlying vitality. This isn't an accident - it's psychology painted in oil.
While viewers notice the vibrant colors first, the real power lies in the layering. Each subsequent layer adds not just visual depth, but emotional complexity. The result? Paintings that reveal new details and meanings with extended viewing, making them worthy investments for serious collectors.
**Portraits:** Human stories told through color psychology, where bright foundations ensure hope shines through even in contemplative moments.
**Florals:** Bold reimagining that challenge traditional softness, creating tension and movement that speaks to resilience and growth.
**Conceptual Works:** Abstract ideas transformed into tangible emotions, where each layer mirrors how we gradually understand complex concepts.
“I want my art to illuminate rather than obscure. My bright foundations ensure that no matter how complex the layering becomes, there’s always light breaking through. Not just through technique - but through emotion.”
