Member Moment: Gail Girls Celebrate 5th Installation of “How I See Her” with Lawrenceville Arts Center
In celebration of Women's History Month, a powerful and deeply personal exhibition returns to the spotlight—How I See Her, the fifth collaborative installation by the artist trio affectionately known as “The Gail Girls”: DAA-ers Aida Alarcón, Isabella Martino, and Julia Everglade.
On view at the Lawrenceville Arts Center March 15th through April 19th, this evolving exhibition continues its thoughtful exploration of identity, womanhood, and the ways women see—and are seen by—each other. With each iteration, How I See Her deepens its narrative, inviting viewers into a layered conversation that is at once intimate and universal.
The Gail Girls have built their artistic partnership around a shared curiosity: how does one woman interpret another’s story, presence, or essence? Through varied mediums and approaches, Alarcón, Martino, and Everglade - who know and love each other as former UNG classmates, housemates, and most importantly best friends - each contribute distinct voices while maintaining a cohesive emotional thread. The result is a body of work that feels both personal and collective—like a visual dialogue unfolding across canvases, textures, and forms.
Part of what makes this fifth installation so meaningful is the journey it has taken to get here. How I See Her has been exhibited in Gainesville, GA at the University of North Georgia’s Gainesville Campus as well as at Quinlan Visual Arts Center. Dahlonega Arts Alliance was also proud to host the 3rd installation at Old Storehouse Art in Fall 2025. In a more intimate and unconventional setting, the artists also hosted a special exhibition Valentine’s Day 2026 within the home they share—an experience that blurred the line between personal space and gallery, and further emphasized the deeply lived-in nature of their work.
Visitors will also have the unique opportunity to hear directly from the artists during a special artist talk taking place March 22nd 1-4 PM at the Lawrenceville Arts Center. This conversation promises to provide deeper insight into their collaborative process, the evolution of the exhibition, and the personal narratives that shape each piece.
Whether you encountered How I See Her during its time in Dahlonega or are discovering it for the first time in Lawrenceville, this latest installation offers something new to uncover. It challenges viewers to slow down, to look closer, and perhaps most importantly, to consider how we see the women in our own lives.
Because in the end, this exhibition isn’t just about art on the walls—it’s about perspective. And perspective, as the Gail Girls remind us, is everything.
Our perspective? This show is going to be at the High in Atlanta before you know it!
