Getting There is a very different solo show for Julie Crews, whose previous exhibitions have often included the “things” of her everyday life as a mother of five—children’s toys, dum dum suckers or a rack of clothes from a shopping trip… Intimate glimpses into her personal life. This is an exhibition dominated by portraits and the landscapes or the roads that lead to them.
STATEMENT FROM THE ARTIST
I hope this exhibition of tiny portraits of people who intersect my life will help people reflect on the relationships in their lives; help people think about the head space and the heart space that we devote to one another. These paintings are about spending time at the canvas with individuals on my terms and finding out what those persons say within me.
ARTIST BIO
I am an oil painter - grew up in Asheville, North Carolina and received my Associate of Arts from Brigham Young University- Idaho in 2007. I moved to northern Louisiana in 2008 and live and create in Ruston with my husband and five children.
