Susi Gutiérrez was born in Lima, Perú, where she studied Archaeology and worked in textiles conservation. In the UK, she studied Fine Arts and an MA in printmaking at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge.

About her work, she says: “My work is constructed through process. Feelings and emotions are both important. They often reflect and reference the stories I build as I walk, the small details of our surroundings, the people with whom I make connections or not.”
