Artist: Julie Crews | Location: Huntsville, AL
Huntsville, AL
Julie Crews is an oil painter. She grew up in Asheville, North Carolina, but has called many other places home. A few include northern California, which taught her how to ease into her 20's, Louisiana, which gifted her with 10 years of a deeper southern vision, and Huntsville, Alabama, where she now lives with her husband and five children. She operates an open studio and gallery in a 122 year-old repurposed cotton mill, Lowe Mill Arts and Entertainment.
Julie paints what takes her out of the studio: the life it takes to nurture a family. When she is working, she escapes domestic tethers. Yet, on canvas, there remain before her the scenes of her life: fires burning in the backyard, children swimming, and snapshots from running errands around town. Weather, traffic, landscapes encountered while driving, and her interactions with the people closest to her influence her work. Recreating these scenes gives permanence to the emotional undercurrents of her life.
