Past Events

In Gifts from the Dark, Jessica M. Gutierrez, brings her worlds together as an artist and mental health therapist, exploring identity and healing through the lens of Gutierrez’s family history. Drawing from her trauma healing background, she travels through time, creating transformational portals that illuminate her inner world. She reveals colorful and shadowy landscapes of inner children supported by floral configurations. Connecting with her intuitive process and the spirit of collage, she brings fragmented memories into new realities depicting moments of clarity, power and moments in process — all revealing what is typically hidden behind closed eyes. Each piece becomes a container, a prayer, an externalized memory infused with sacred symbols of healing. Through her art, Gutierrez brings gifts from the present into the past and retrieves the gifts left behind, once hidden in the dark.
