Kimberly A. Sutton is a sound artist, cellist, and sound designer living in Chicago, Illinois. Her sound design for Theatre Y was nominated for a Non-Equity Jeff Award in 2025. Recent installations have been shown at Lincoln Park Conservatory in Chicago, IL, ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the Chicago Home Theater Festival.
Her installations and sound design work explore the connections between the physical properties of sound and the cultural signifiers of its content. As a cellist her practice is improvisatory and explores the possibilities of expression and reflection through sound and the immediacy of a meditational connection to her instrument. She has a BA in Political Science and Music from the University of Chicago and an MFA in Electronic Music and Recorded Media from Mills College.
