About Us

Bridget Bolger
Graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the mid 80s, Bridget experimented early on her career assisting with major installations and exhibits in the Chicago art scene. Her next journey would take her through South America and finally land in Colorado as owner of a small but profitable cafe in Boulder. In Colorado, she exhibited her work in Boulder and Denver, meeting fellow gallery artist Scott Multer and forming a bond that would last and lead up to their marriage. After a brief stint in California, Bridget and Scott arrived back in Chicago to revive their artistic endeavors and begin planting roots in her hometown. On September 11, 2001, a tragic day in America, they welcomed the arrival of their daughter, Annabel. The beginning of their family ushered in a return to her work of creating from that which is invisible.

In Bridget's work today, she utilizes pen and ink to draw a narrative of imaginary figures and settings which transcend the physical world, portraying a wider vision of awareness including spiritual and mystical themes.

Scott Multer
Starting his career in the late 1980s as a comic book artist and serving as a graphic novelist adapting Anne Rice's vampire books, Scott brought his love for narrative art to the Denver gallery scene. Here Scott met fellow artist, future wife and partner in the South Halsted Gallery, Bridget Bolger. Struggling to make ends meet as a fine artist, he turned once again to commercial art, specifically in the digital form as an entertainment software illustrator in California. His progression in the field led towards interactive art direction with a job first at Playboy and ultimately following a career in providing creative direction and marketing solutions for corporations in Chicago.

In a return to his work today, Scott takes a unique approach to the visual form by collaborating with his wife Bridget to create a shared vision and experience.
