Artist Message
Julie Gang grew up in Buffalo, New York. The seventh child of nine, and the youngest of five girls, Julie loved to walk around with her film-less Brownie camera snapping 'photographs' of everyone and everything. Inspired by children's inhibitions, she began photographing children in high school. Julie had an instant comfort zone with her large extended family with plenty of 'kid' models. She continued her photographic studies at the Rochester Institute of Technology where she met her husband, still life photographer Jim Huibregtse. They have two children, Emma and Clyde. They live in New York City. A colleague once said, 'I can always tell I'm looking at Julie's work because Julie can be seen in the eyes of her subjects.' |
