It is time again to recognize another artist from our community that has had a major impact on the Arts in Kansas City Kansas. She has also contributed, unselfishly to the promotion and establishment of other artist. Lacey Lewis is a Figurative Artist that moved here from Syracuse, New York. In just a few short years, Lacey has established herself as an emerging talent not just here in Kansas City, Kansas, but throughout the metro area, and the Midwest region. Lacey has received several awards and honors for her work, which hangs in a number of private collections. She is, represented by the Hillard Gallery in Kansas City, MO and the Strecker - Nelson in Manhattan, KS. Her work is amazing. Check out her website and see for yourself, www.lacey-lewis.com/.
As talented, an artist as Lacey is I think what I enjoy most about her is her willingness to help other artist. She has been a major force in establishing lines of communication between our local artists. She started groups.yahoo.com/group/kcksarts/, a site for artist, art lovers and lovers of artist. The blog site you are currently reading, and most importantly so far, was the offer to create simple websites for local artist to display their work. The sites are beautiful and stylized to fit each artist. In three short months, Lacey has created an intergraded network for local artist to share their thoughts, art events and meetings with one another. The websites have allowed local artists to reach a much larger audience, how important is that in today’s market. Thank you Lacey for all that you do.
