Lacy works on various substrates including aluminum panels, polytab material, and painting directly onto the surface of the building or wall. Lacy regularly works with organizations and communities to create mural projects. Contact her for info if you’re interested in a mural in your hometown or place of business.

Camp Noah Campers working on the Community Resilience mural at the Floyd County Community Center in Floyd County, KY. The camp was brought to different areas in the region affected by the disastrous flooding in eastern Kentucky that happened in 2022. The mural was a way to honor those we lost, recognize our strength and resilience, and above all, give the youth a way to create and express themselves while working as a team. I was incredibly honored to be asked to be included in this project.
