BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Meet Our Team

Teresa Gutierrez, President
I am an artist from North Highlands, CA. I began my journey as a portrait artist in my late teens, following in the footsteps of my talented mother. After putting my brushes down to raise my family in 1999, I picked them back up in 2011 as a single mother to make ends meet. In 2013, I met mural artist Markos Egure, who mentored me in mural painting. Since then, I have completed and donated my time to 15 murals in Sacramento, CA, and 1 in San Diego.
I have owned and operated two art galleries in Downtown Sacramento and am now a co-founder of the non-profit 501c3 ARTners. Additionally, I am a retired Chief from the State of California, with 30 years of service. In my leisure time, I run my for-profit business, PinkStreet Art.
My purpose as a non-profit owner is to inspire—to encourage artists and the community to be creative, to pursue their dreams, and to never, never give up!

Markos Egure, Vice President
