The DUTTON SISTERS 20th February -12th March

Talk 12th March at 5pm Skylark Galleries in the Oxo Tower.

Skylark Galleries “The Dutton Sisters celebrate WOW Women of the World Festival alongside South Bank Centre that brings empowerment to the voice of women. Sharing, participating and creating together. Sisterhood : Our story united and individually in our roles: as artists, mothers partners, friends, members of our community. Sharing, co-creation, storytelling supporting and having fun whenever we can”. This is our fifth year doing an event of one kind or another at the  Women of the World Festival. It takes place in early March around International Women’s Day. WOW sponsors lectures, debates and performance on a range of themes and topics. This Upcoming Feature with my sister Jennifer Dutton and talk Southbank has crept up very fast this year, we normally spend time preparing and this time we haven’t really had a chance to think about it before its suddenly come around. Busy days for us in our “Daughter role” for our family sorting out lots of interesting new information discovered after the death of our ‘Uncle Jack’ relating to our family history and stories connected with many generations and lots of very laborious stuff to go through too, However feels like light at the end of the tunnel is starting to shine. The women have an interesting history in our family. One of the first women to go to go to Cambridge University 1920’s and another in publishing at the turn of the last century, dancers, singers. Interesting. Didn’t know until we started this journey together The Dutton Sisters. Perfect time to talk about sisterhood as part of the WOW Women of the World Festival

My sister and I…that’s Kathleen Dutton & Jennifer Dutton are showing a range of art that celebrates life. We both share a certain joy of life expressed in their distinctive and very different ways. I use through meditation and reflecting that in simplicity of form and use of light. Jennifer using her highly decorative Lino cuts of gardens. The artworks share a positive energy and are life affirming.
