Meet the Artist


Meet the Artist            

Julie Ann Crawford Lamons was born on March 25, 1953 in Newport Arkansas USA. She graduated from Bradford HS in 1971.Her interest in art began in her teens after drawing members of her church. She set aside her love of art for a few years after the birth of her twin daughters. Several years later she picked up her paintbrushes and began again a journey to bring her art to life in the world around her.

Julie graduated from a two-year art program with Penn Foster Schools in 2005, and is participated in workshops and working with the local artists.

She enjoys working with acrylic and oil. She has a studio and small gallery located in Pleasant Plains, Arkansas. You will see a wide variety in her gallery from inspirational to landscape and still life.

In 2006 Julie was a member of the gallery walk committee of Heber Springs, Arkansas which worked to promote the arts in the area. She has been featured in Local Newspapers, and The Arkansas Newspaper magazine Three Rivers Edition. She is a member of the Arkansas Artist Registry and The Eureka Springs Artist Registry.

One of her paintings, Hay Bales was exhibited at the Clinton Presidential Library (July--August 2007, sponsored by the Clinton Foundation and the Thea Foundation), from where it moved to the El Dorado High School for the school year 2007/8 with Art Across Arkansas

She continues today to work with her local community to bring her love of art to others.

ARTIST STATEMENT:   I believe that God gives gifts to everyone, it is our decision whether we use them. Creating art is one of the gifts God has blessed me with..... How does one explain the moment of knowing something came together on canvas making it art? It has never ceased to be a joyful journey for me to take the paints, canvas, a new idea and watch them begin to work together and come to life. When  painting time stops, the only thing that has any sense of reality is creating art.  I hope you take time to browse.

God Bless,

Julie
