Abi Gutting paints to portray the culture and wildlife of the American West. Her early training began as a young child when her artist mother, Susan Gutting, allowed Gutting to work alongside her in the studio. She has also studied via workshop instruction throughout the Western United States, including several at the Scottsdale Artist School in Arizona.
Gutting’s work has been featured in Southwest Art Magazine, Western Art & Architecture, Art of the West, Western Art Collector and Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine.
At the 2024 Prix de West, her painting Runnin’ on Empty was given the Express Ranches Great American Cowboy Award.
While Gutting’s love of art is inherited from her mom, and her growth as an artist cultivated by Susan, her love of animals and the American West was fostered by her time spent working with her veterinarian father through her teens and into her early twenties. The memories from those experiences are rich and contribute to Gutting’s vision for her art. She looks forward to a lifetime of growth and opportunity as an artist.
Gutting currently lives in the beautiful mountains of northern Idaho.
