  • Artist Statement -Evelyn Olive Gutzke

    I could not decide which one??

    As a visual artist, I primarily use digital landscapes, acrylic paint and pencil to explore the power of creativity, color and form, in order to captivate my audience. The use of bright colors and bold forms define what makes my work so unique. I aspire for my viewers to look longer at my work than would be typical for them, to create something that catches the eye and holds it. I approach my work with a sense of discovery and creativity, allowing a blank space in front of me to guide my work until the finishing touches of the final composition. 

    As a graphic designer with a passion for bold colors, inviting themes and modern aesthetics, I want my work to capture attention. Whether it’s a logo, package design or a brand identity, I want my designs to be something that people pick up off the shelf and choose to purchase. With my background in advertising and public relations, I am able to create, and understand what consumers want to see. My creative side is deeply rooted in visual art, I am able to see graphic design in the lens of a visual artist. Blending these experiences gives me a unique perspective and strengths to comprehend color, form, and texture in graphic design.
