Mary Lacy

Mary Lacy is a muralist and mosaic artist long celebrated for her large-scale public artworks. Though monumental in scale, her works are intriguingly subtle, striking a rare balance between playfulness and grace, loud and quiet, geometric and organic. Each piece invites viewers to pause and consider the possibility that a hummingbird might truly be hovering right there above the street.

In the last several years, she has been spending more time in her studio where she explores more personal subject matter, looking inward at the beauty, strength, and fragility of the human body. Having never picked up a paintbrush until she became a patient, Mary’s relationship to art has always been intertwined with her health. Her most recent project, The Artist Will See You Now, layers in the resource of time, the current state of medical trust, and the realities of labor that often surround our relationship to care. From community murals to intimate explorations of the human body, Mary’s work consistently positions the humanities as an integral part of public health and its overall workforce.

Mary’s artwork spans the width of the country with murals in fifteen different states. She has worked for companies and institutions such as Benjamin Moore, Beta Technologies, University of Vermont, and The National Audubon Society. She is represented by Soapbox Arts.

Mary currently lives and works in Western Massachusetts, often returning to her home state of Vermont with her best friend pup in tow.

I look forward to hearing from you!
