The historical nature and architecture of the Fayetteville courthouse square drew Gullett to locate to the area in 1980. Gullett served on the Fayette Main Street committee and the Old Courthouse Art Show for over 25 years, and created 3 murals in the area with her husband. During this time, Gullett was inspired by her love of historical buildings and cities to create work consisting of layers of watercolor paper making them part sculpture and part watercolors. She has exhibited in the top 100 National Park Exhibit and was commissioned by US Capital historical group to do a drawing of the Capital.
Courtney Hurst is an Atlanta based photographer, graphic designer & curator. Her work focuses on photographing abandoned and forgotten spaces. “I thrive in spaces of ambiguity and my work tends to as well, questioning more often than providing answers. “ Hurst’s recurring subjects focuses on life, death, and afterlife in the south. Hurst’s photographs allude to faith and spiritualism. Vacant places unexpectedly become greenhouses with images of kitsch and salvage.
