Jutta Gietl is a contemporary artist, who lives in Reno, NV.

Jutta’s deep connection with nature is the heartbeat of her artistic expression.

She merges diverse media such as bark, rusted metal, bone into her Oil paintings, creating a visual narrative she aptly calls  “ Trail-Trash-Treasures”. Like a beach comber she collects her treasures, while hiking in the mountains, deserts and woods,  brings them back into her studio, where she weaves together colors and textures of the journey. Her distinct style emanates a sense of peace and joy with a touch of adventure

Born  and raised in Nuremberg, Germany, her professional career as an engineer made her traveling the world, applying her skills in injection molding and material sciences in diverse industries. She always found solace in the mountains to counter the fast-paced and demanding nature of the business, pursued her art even more, after she retired from the business world.
