Meet Elizabeth Sutton

Creative Alchemist, Artist, Designer, & Interiors Curator.

Elizabeth Sutton is a New York artist and designer, and the founder of Elizabeth Sutton Collection. A self-taught, sixth-generation New Yorker, she channels bold color and emotional storytelling into original fine art, prints on fine art paper, award-winning tile, wallpaper, rugs and luxury dinnerware. Her designs live at Fairmont Hotels, Baha Mar and Eden Rock St. Barths, and her work is collected by Pitbull, Andrea Bocelli and Kourtney Kardashian.

Elizabeth Sutton never planned to become an artist. She picked up a paintbrush one Sunday afternoon because she could no longer afford the art she wanted for her son’s nursery, so she made it herself. The internet noticed. Then Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing noticed. Then Pitbull, Andrea Bocelli, and Kourtney Kardashian noticed. That was a decade ago. Self-taught, she built her eye through instinct, repetition, and a refusal to sit still, and she has not put the brush down since.

Her path wasn’t easy. A difficult upbringing, a divorce, financial struggle, and traumatic, life-changing events gave her more than enough to carry. Rather than let any one of them slow her down, Elizabeth channeled all of it into her work: turning hardship into color, and color into a career.

Today Elizabeth is a New York artist and designer with a command of color across every palette, and a habit of refusing to stay on the canvas. Her paintings hang in homes from Vail to St. Barths.

“Self-taught artist. Self-built business. Piece by piece.”- Elizabeth Sutton

Her six award-winning tile collections have twice been named Best of Show at HD Expo (2019 and 2025). Her wallpaper climbs bathroom walls, her rugs anchor living rooms, her desk chairs make Mondays look better, and her luxury melamine dinnerware sets tables that get photographed before anyone eats.

The butterflies you’ll see everywhere in her artwork? Hand-cut, one by one. They began as her own story of transformation, from stay-at-home mom to self-taught artist to founder, and they became the signature of the brand and Elizabeth's persona in life.

Her work has been commissioned and collected by Pitbull, Andrea Bocelli, Kourtney Kardashian, Timothy Draper, Jesse Itzler and Sara Blakely, and shares walls and is in private collections alongside Warhol, Lichtenstein, Hirst, Rembrandt, and Monet. Her accessories have been carried by Sarah Jessica Parker, Paris Hilton, and Pippa Middleton, Nicole Scherzinger and were included in Iris Apfel’s personal wardrobe retrospective at Sotheby’s flagship.

Channeling Life Into Beauty You Can Feel

Elizabeth Sutton isn’t just an artist, she’s a creative alchemist. She believes art should do more than decorate a space. It should hold something real. Her bold color and emotional storytelling come from a simple belief: that the hardest moments in life can be the richest material for beauty. That alchemy, weight into beauty, struggle into color, resilience into joy, is at the center of everything she makes.

You can find her energy built into the spaces people live, stay, and gather in. Elizabeth’s designs live at Waldorf Astoria, Fairmont Hotels, Baha Mar, & Eden Rock St. Barths. She’s been named to Forbes’ Next 1000 list of top small business entrepreneurs in the US and featured in Architectural Digest and The New York Times, recognition of the same thing her clients keep coming back for: a space that feels like it’s alive.

Most days you can find her exactly where the work happens: the Elizabeth Sutton Atelier at 897 First Avenue, painting, helping clients style, designing new collections, and curating the store, usually all before lunch. She is a proud single mother of two, a sixth-generation New Yorker, and a woman of deep faith.

Come say hi. Bring photos of your space. Leave inspired.
