Gutierrez is an artist who has been fascinated with the esoteric arts, magic and the creatures that populate the unseen and ethereal world. She finds amusement in collecting types of tarot cards for their beautiful, meticulous art works. Faeries gods, godesses, enkantadas, diwatas and mythical creatures are the iconography that fills her silken canvases. Her background as a designer of handmade quilted linens for babies shows in her laborious process of quilting and by beading delicate silk fabrics.

Her choice of soft, muted, opalescent colors such as lavander, amethyst purple, old rose, pink, aquamarine, sea green, sky blue, periwinkle and moss green lends a mysterious and magical touch to her paintings. Her imaginative figures, the soothing, tasteful colors together with her delicate brush strokes and the gentle, watery application of her paint all come together in creating her dream world.
