About the Exhibition
"I'll Be Right With You" showcases Crews' unique ability to capture the fleeting yet profound moments of everyday life in her oil paintings. Her art is a testament to her personal experiences and heritage, skillfully imbuing scenes from daily life with emotional depth and resonance.

About Julie Crews
Born and raised in North Carolina, Julie Crews' love affair with art began in her childhood, sparked by a humble Christmas gift of an oil painting set. Her connection to her ancestry and the land is intricately interwoven with her artistic expression. Now residing in Alabama, she works in a 122-year-old cotton mill - a setting that embodies the enduring, timeless quality she seeks to capture in her art.
Despite the shared struggles of artists everywhere - from time constraints and resource limitations to creative blocks - Crews' unwavering dedication to her craft and a deep understanding of her work's intrinsic value fuels her continuous artistic evolution.
