About the Artists

Jerry and Anne Schutte are artists based in the Southwest.

Jerry and Anne Schutte are a couple who met in art school, who married and moved to Arizona to continue their studies. Two people that from the start, always prioritized their time making art, are now retired art educators who are enjoying that bit of extra time in the studio.

Jerry Schutte in his studio

“The figurative paintings often have to do with conflict and resolution within the human condition - whether they are presented as a representation of the inhabitants of an artist’s studio or a mythical mystical space.”

—Jerry Schutte
