She also studied at York College and Rhode Island  School of Design.  The artist specialises in  illustration of children’s books and draws her  inspiration from such 20th century illustrators  such as Edward Bawden (1903-  1989) and Eric  Ravilious (1903- 1942) and American  lithographed children's books. She typically includes in her work objects found in museums and antique shops. \r\n\r\nThis illustration is characteristic of Emily  Sutton’s style and technique with a strong use of line, colour and pattern.   The image is of Clara Button, her mother and brother walking past statues on plinths in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
