About Nellie Hutton

Lived 1875 – 1955 (aged 79–80). Nellie Hutton was a New Zealand painter.

Nellie Laura Douglas Hutton (1875–1955) was a New Zealand painter. Her works are held in the Hocken Collections.

Biography Hutton was born in Dunedin in 1875, the daughter of artist David Con Hutton and his second wife Helen Bryden (died 1922). David Con Hutton was born in Dundee, Scotland, and arrived in Otago in 1870 and established the Dunedin School of Art, the first such institution in New Zealand. In 1894 this was expanded to the Otago School of Art and Design which Hutton was the principal of until he died in 1910. He was known for his wash drawings and water colours. Hutton's artistic style was regarded as being more related to the style of Italian painter G. P. Nerli, who visited the school, than that of her father.

Misses L. & A. Hutton, listed as Dunedin artists in 1914 Wise's, were probably Nellie Laura Hutton and a sister.

In 1987, Hutton's works were included in a show at the Hocken Library titled Under the Spell: Frances Hodgkins, Nellie Hutton and Grace Joel.
