Elizabeth Sutton

I am an art historian and art educator. My research specialization is in the visual culture produced in the sixteenth and seventeenth century Netherlands, and how print and visual culture helped shape European ideas and rhetoric about empire and power that continue to resonate today. More recently, I have published on animal and environmental art and ethics, and how a phenomenology of art can illuminate these issues. My edited volume on Women Artists and Patrons in the Netherlands and monograph chronicling the handmade objects by Ho-Chunk artist Angel De Cora and Norwegian immigrant Karen Thronson continue to engage feminist and decolonial theories.
