About the Artist

Julie Cains is an oil painter based in western Arkansas. She grew up on a small farm in rural Arkansas and is passionate about being outdoors, working with her hands, and spending time with family.

“I work primarily from observation, painting en plein air (outdoors) or still lifes in the studio. I love the way plein air painting in an impressionistic style can simultaneously celebrate the rich history of a place and the impermanence of the way the world around us looks and feels at any given time or season. ” - Julie
