ABOUT WOOLEY DUTTON
There is undeniable joie de vivre in the work of Wooley Dutton. The color palette is so uplifting, the subject so compelling, her paintings are a joyous expression of a long love affair with the visual arts. Is it possible to stand before a Wooley Dutton painting without smiling? We think not. Wooley spent her youth largely in England and Australia, was educated in the Mid-West with an apprenticeship in Mexico and achieved career success in Boston. Her career focus has been exclusively in the world of visual arts integrating branding and communications development most recently from her former role as Managing Partner, Director of Design, at The Boston Group. For the last thirteen years, Ms. Dutton’s visual acuity has been, and is, focused on painting, immersed in the exploration of color play, personalities, and the environment. Far from mere impulse, each painting is carefully constructed and worked through attentively so that the viewer is not just a visitor, but a guest. To linger with her work is always to leave reluctantly, but uplifted. Dutton’s credentials include numerous awards in the commercial sphere. Her work by commission and acquisition is held in many private collections.
“Energizing a composition through blazing color brings me joy. No matter what I am painting, the goal is always the same --- Push it to the max.”
