Sim Luttin recalls her earliest memory of what she wanted to be when she grew up was to be an inventor. She was encouraged to do things in a more labour intensive, meticulous way, which was often a longer, highly detailed process. Now, many years later, she approaches her creative work this way.
Luttin has a Masters in Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design, Indiana University, USA and a BFA in Gold and Silversmithing, RMIT, Melbourne, AUS.
Achievements include solo exhibitions at Studio Ingot and Pieces of Eight, Melbourne, AUS and Metalab, Sydney, AUS; group exhibitions nationally and internationally, including most recently in By Example, Itami, Japan; 2009 Emeritus Medal Commission, Australia Council for the Arts, AUS; Alma Eikerman Award for Metalsmithing, Indiana University, USA; Australia Council Emerging Artist New Work Grant, AUS.
Luttin has work in the collection of Galerie Marzee, NL, and the Art Gallery of South Australia, AUS and has been published in numerous publications.
