“Lacey’s realistic oils and watercolors…have a foursquare grasp of the spirit and nature of the region, and this native knowledge allows  her to shade her subjects with an added facet of mystery—"Ozark Noir"—so to speak…This  workmanlike process, coupled with her clean, untextured brushstrokes and shadowy composition,  often lends an other-worldly character to her paintings.“
