LACIE WALLACE

Lacie Wallace is an Oklahoma City-based artist and current Curbside Chronicle vendor. Throughout her time experiencing homelessness, Lacie needed a creative outlet to help get her through the difficult times. Lacie learned about the Fresh StART program offered at the Homeless Alliance and instantly found joy in self-expression through her paintings. She learned that with frugality comes out-of-the-box thinking and creativity. Lacie loves the idea of being able to create pieces for all to enjoy and hopes that when people buy or see her art, they can tell their loved ones their friend made it. One thing Lacie loves most about creating is the satisfaction that she was able to create something from scratch, something all her own. When Lacie isn’t painting, she enjoys spending time at home, selling Curbside Chronicle magazines, and getting creative in the Fresh StART classroom.
