Artist Statement
My work explores the idea that less can be more—both visually and philosophically.
Minimalism, for me, is not just an aesthetic choice but a lifestyle philosophy. It speaks to the value of living with less—whether in terms of material possessions, distractions, or emotional clutter—and finding richness in simplicity. Through my art, I hope to encourage viewers to consider their own relationship with excess and to find meaning in the quiet, unembellished moments that often go unnoticed.
In each piece, I aim to create a space for reflection, where the viewer is invited to pause, breathe, and experience the profound peace that comes from embracing the beauty of less.
Spring 2024-Fall 2025 (most current)
Most of Gullery's current pieces are miniatures. They are taped off in a vertical 2" x 3" composition on Bristol board and painted in acrylic. She has been producing commission pieces for clients as well as working off a list of favorite small businesses in her city, Indianapolis. Each original painting is matted under colorful mat board, giving even more depth to these small paintings.
Gullery is preparing to show the Indianapolis series at The Harrison Center in October 2025.
Winter 2024- Summer 2025
Gullery's work in 2024-early 2025 consisted of a series of watercolor and ink paintings. She draws on the refined sensibilities of traditional Japanese ink paintings to explore the delicate threshold between blossoming and decay. Each painting includes a magnified floral scene- some gestural, some detailed. These paintings were shown at the Athenaeum's ArtSpace for the month of May 2025.
Summer 2023-2024
A throwback to her pointillism series from early 2023. She painted thousands of tiny dots that make ethereal floral paintings of large scale. Instead of one large piece of paper, Gullery pieced together squares of paper as the backing, making each painting look like a quilt.
