Creator Spotlight: Sophy Tuttle
Sophy Tuttle began her art career at some of the most prestigious programs in the East Coast art school consortium. From the Rhode Island School of Design to Hartford Art School (with many in between) she is now based in Northeastern Massachusetts. Her realist murals and wood cutout paintings resemble exceptionally vibrant, contemporary renditions of John James Audubon’s avian portraiture. Through her work, she seeks to facilitate a dialogue within her community about ecological issues. She is highly active in the Boston arts scene, and she welcomes work beyond her area code.
