Ali Sutton was born in the Bay Area, CA in 2003. She is currently undergoing her thesis project at The Rhode Island School of Design. She will be relocating to New York City post graduation.

Sutton’s work explores her relationship with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, drawing inspiration from fairy tales and mythology to create paintings that evoke the fantastical and strange. The work feels otherworldly and out of touch with reality due to the exciting, unnatural colors and peculiar scenes. A repertoire of animals are used to represent varying aspects and emotions tied to Sutton’s OCD, and they are seen interacting with the artist’s own vulnerable likeness throughout the work.
