'A Unique Perspective'

Featured Calendar Artist

Theodore "Teddy" Sutton, "Untitled" 2022

Teddy approaches life with a smile and his art with focus. Imagery of rockets, spaceships, and the human form take flight in compositions of concentric color stories, intentionally and purposefully!

They can also be purchased in-person at the MDAC Gallery in Bridgeport and Palm & Able Thrift Stores in Shelton & Trumbull as well as other local retailers including, The Canvas Patch and Card Smart in Milford, The Mellow Monkey in Stratford, Pure Poetry in Trumbull and Palooza and Fairfield Museum in Fairfield.
