Abigail Gutting

Her early training began as a young child when her artist mother, Susan Gutting, allowed Abi 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. Her work has been featured in Southwest Art Magazine, Western Art and Architecture, Art of the West, Western Art Collector, and Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine. She was honored to be a guest artist at the 2024 Prix de West Invitational at the National Cowboy Museum in Oklahoma City, where her painting "Runnin' on Empty" was given the Express Ranches Great American Cowboy Award. In 2025, she will be returning to the Prix de West as a 2nd year guest artist. While Abi's love of art is inherited from her mom, and her growth as an artist cultivated by Susan, Abi's 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 Abi's vision for her art. She looks forward to a lifetime of growth and opportunity as an artist.

Abi currently lives in the beautiful mountains of Northern Idaho.
