Let Me Tell You It Was Wonderful Painting

Gabrielle is an abstract visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY, where she creates minimalist & joyful works on paper and raw canvas through layered acrylic washes in both subtle and bold uses of color and intuitive mark-making. Poetry often appears in the titles of her paintings. She is inspired by bodies of water – from oceans to bathhouses, the effect of color on human psychology, and the way materials respond to each other. With a background as a designer and user researcher, Guthrie frequently think of the context and impact of her paintings while she creates. She hopes to evoke a sense of joy and calm reflection through her work while embracing the surprises and imperfections that emerge during her creative process.
