Hilda Tutton

Country/Region: Northwest Coast (view other artists)

Born in 1930, Hilda Tutton grew up on a farm near Galt (now Cambridge) Ontario, in the heart of the Great Lakes.

Her career in education started with classroom teaching, and moved on to specialization in the new field of Creative Art under Dr. C. D. Gaitskell. The developmental patterns encountered in children’s art introduced her in a practical way to psychology, which later prompted another change. 'Learning disabilities' were finally being recognized at that time, and she worked at the Child Study Centre of the University of Ottawa during the sixties, specializing in the solution of problems with written language. This remained her focus for the rest of her teaching career.
