E very creative life has a rhythm — moments of quiet, of change, of return. Over the past few years, our family’s work has entered a new stage, one that’s less about what has been made and more about how it continues to move forward.

We’re calling this next chapter The Suttles Continuum — an evolving conversation between generations, between memory and imagination, between the studio and the digital space.

The Continuum began as a way to organize hundreds of paintings, drawings, and collages created by my father, Bill Suttles, and the ceramic works of my mother, Pat Suttles. What it became is something larger — a living archive and creative ecosystem that keeps their voices, and mine, in motion.

Through this ongoing work, we’ve cataloged, documented, photographed, and reconnected the threads of decades of art. But just as importantly, we’re building a new bridge — a way for collectors, students, and friends to engage directly with the story behind the art.

This blog will now serve as the heartbeat of that bridge. It’s where reflection meets record — part journal, part exhibition, part conversation.

Studio Notes

For me, this project isn’t about closing a chapter — it’s about keeping it open. Every time I revisit a painting, a sketchbook, or a photograph, I’m reminded that the creative process is still unfolding.

My goal moving forward is simple: to keep the Suttles story alive in real time, to make the archive breathe, and to invite others into it. If you’ve followed our family’s art over the years, thank you. If you’re just discovering it now, welcome. There’s much more to come.
