Duet - Meet the Artists

Join us to hear from two of Access Gallery's most tenured artists, Brittany Murdock and Allie Gestner, whose works engage in a creative dialogue despite their vastly different styles.

This pairing showcases two powerful artistic visions. Allie Gestner’s devotion to symmetry and balance takes you on a tour of everyday americana images and symbols that capture her imagination. Her meticulous application of vibrant color plays beautifully against Brittany Murdock’s bold use of methodical, repetitious marks and structured chaos. Through purposeful dot-making and sculptures, Brittany echoes her profound

approach to community and creativity.

This exhibition showcases distinctive bodies of work that are colorful, whimsical, and intriguing, ensuring the unique story and talent of each artist is seen, heard, and celebrated.
