Ann Sutton is an iconic British artist, author, and educator who early in her career won world acclaim as an innovative textile designer working for brands like Ralph Lauren and Issey Miyake. Then, in her 80’s, she gave up her looms and dedicated herself to pushing the boundaries of fine art. In her ‘laboratory’ of a studio in Sussex, England she works alongside her assistant Ruth to turn her endless ideas into radical creations. Ann is a magnet for artistic collaborators who enjoy her energy and wry humor, and her world changes when curators from Britain’s biggest art institutions – The Tate and V&A – start knocking on her door. Now in her 90’s, Ann and her work defy definition as she continues to squeeze every last ounce out of life, inspiring all of us to do the same.
