Gabriela Knutson is a short story writer, experimental filmmaker and award-winning editor. Born and raised along the El Paso/Juarez border, she brings a multicultural sensibility to her short stories and films, finding humor and beauty in somewhat dark spaces. Dabbling in the artisanal, she handcrafts custom made lamps and paper lampshades from recycled and repurposed materials (www.papershadelamps.com). Mrs. Knutson currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, two glorious kids and a cat who thinks it's a dog.
