Themes and style:
Cutler's drawings, paintings, and prints
often focus on groups of women, dressed in Victorian style clothing, doing
familiar "women's work". Using this, she creates strange narratives
that play off of known fairy tales and archetypes.[3] Her women characters are
frequently paired in scenes with household items, wild animals and hybrid
creatures. Cutler's painting work features negative space frequently around her
characters, showing her desire to “...get rid of the background”, which she
credits for her choice to switch from painting on wood to primarily painting
with gouache on paper. [4]

Photography, etchings, lithography

In her own words:
“Most of my
color palette is found in the textiles. I use fabrics to create a subtext of
meaning. With women’s fashion I am able go wild and push the limits without it
being the focus of the narrative. Each time I draw or paint a new face I let
the personality dictate the style of what they will be wearing.”
