ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
“Fall Reflection” on canvas PHOTOS COURTESY OF JESSIE GUTIERREZ
Jessie Gutierrez Jessie Gutierrez says that while art is not her primary profession, "it is a process that fi lls me with joy and brings light and beauty to what have been some dark days in the world recently." She says she had always been a photographer, noting that over the past several years she has focused her "free" time — such as it is, as "a mom of two young kids, with a full-time job" — on transforming the photographs she has taken over the years into prints on wood and canvas. "Once the image is transferred," she says, "I use my imagination and memories of the location or object in the photo to enhance it, layering on many diff erent mediums using a variety of techniques from painting to drawing and collage."
