The Lovers Painting

Gabrielle Guthrie is a self-taught mixed media artist whose work bridges abstract painting, drawing, collage, and three-dimensional paintings. She combines intuitive and organic forms with repurposed materials to explore how we create, consume, and connect with the social, built, and natural environments. Her process-driven approach embraces improvisation, layering, and material play. Inspired by relationships, travel, and time spent in nature, Gabrielle sees her practice as a way of connecting to the world. Whether through folded canvases, monoprinting, or layered surfaces, her work deals with questions of chance, perception, intimacy, and memory. Gabrielle holds an MFA in Product Design from Stanford, and her background as a designer and user researcher informs her artistic practice. She draws from her experience studying relationships, simplifying complexity, and shaping interactions to create work that opens space for emotions, reflection, and empathy. Her work is held in private collections across North America, including in New York, California, and Texas.
