Lacey in KC
Hello!
I recently joined the forum, but have been reading through all of the threads and checking out everyone's website for a couple of months. In 2003, I moved to the Kansas City area after getting my Associates in Art in my hometown of Syracuse, NY. Since we settled into our house, I have been focusing on improving my work and learning as much as possible. I think I have progressed more at home than I did while in college! But, I still have a long, long way to go.
I have always been drawn to the face and the figure (no pun intended) and my recent work has been limited to these subjects. I slowly started to get commisions about a year ago and have since learned to think of myself as an artist because if I don't no one else will!
I haven't met many artists in the area, but hope that I might find others through this site that share interests in portrait/figure painting and more traditional methods.
Other than my art (which I focus on at least 5 days a week, 5 hours or more per day) I spend my day playing with and teaching my homeschooled son, 7, and encouraging my husband who is working and going back to school full time. We also have a guinea pig and a kitten recently showed up at our door and is slowly adopting us.
I hope to become a part of this online community, both learning and eventually helping others!
Work included:
Derek, Pastel on MiTientes, 14" x 12"
Amy in Teal, Oil on canvas, 36" x 24"
