Artist’s Statement
My work is rooted in a devotion to beauty, empathy, and the quiet power of observation. I’m drawn to the way light transforms a space, how objects speak of the lives around them, and the sacred rhythm found in the mundane. Each piece begins with a moment of stillness—a gesture, a shadow, a story waiting to unfold.
Influenced by the emotive storytelling of Annie Leibovitz, the ornate layering of Gustav Klimt, the spatial clarity of Thomas Schaller and Ron Larson, and the fractured perspectives of Cubism, I explore how environments become portraits—how space, object, and subject converge. My process often involves subtle abstraction, handwritten elements, and structural grids to hold memory and geometry in dialogue.
I’m particularly drawn to vignetted realism—that soft intersection where focus and atmosphere meet. It allows me to highlight what matters most while letting the rest fade gently, like memory itself.
For me, art is a spiritual odyssey—an act of seeing through the eyes of the Creator. My hope is that each piece invites reflection, stirs a sense of wonder, and offers a mirror to the joy, complexity, and interconnectedness of being alive.
BIO
Elizabeth Gunter is an artist, graphic designer, and entrepreneur in search of creatives. Raised in New York City with one foot in New Jersey, her exposure to the fine arts began young. This grew into a deep appreciation for poetry, photography, and painting. An art scholarship drew her to Chicago, and then a fateful road trip carried her to Southern Utah, where she fell in love with the red rocks beneath stark blue skies.
Elizabeth’s greatest triumphs include her two adorably precocious children, working with national brands, making beneficial imprints on the world, and opening ART Provides, her very own studio, event space, and gallery in a stunning historic theater. Here she hopes to create connections through art, both inside the minds of individuals, between small groups, and within larger communities.
In addition to her artistic endeavors, Elizabeth started Art Broker Utah with a fellow artist to help bridge the gap between local artists and the commercial and residential spaces that need them.
Away from a canvas, Elizabeth enjoys travel, exploring the great outdoors, meditation, and meeting mindful, open, authentic people. She swears in Spanish when surprised, breaks into solo dance parties to release stress, and obsesses over fancy inks. She can’t help it. Art supplies and those who use them have her heart.
