At the beginning of the 1960's,  after her husband  Cecil Stephenson suffered a stroke and was no longer able to paint, Guthrie launched into pure abstract painting.  During the 1960's her work was characterised by a textured, soft edged and gently radiating palette; 18 such paintings were included in her London show at the Drian Gallery of 1966.
