One of Lacey Hennesey’s Instagram accounts is called @lacey_does and that’s because if she doesn’t know how to do something, she figures it out on her own and does it. She is an unabashed student of what she calls YouTube University and her desire to learn new + efficient techniques, especially for painting murals, runs deep. Lacey is my first muralist on the show, and her days are chock-full of commercial and residential projects. It would be well worth your time to follow her on Instagram to, not only watch her process, but stand amazed that she often paints outside in 90+ degrees and still has a cheerful attitude about it. (It’s also mesmerizing to watch her operate the electric lift! 😉) I loved our conversation about what’s been working for her from a sales perspective. Her answer will surprise you, but it is full of wisdom after years of building an actual community on social media. I was also super encouraged that she is part of an artist community who frequently share wins and losses together and are marked by cheering each other on, ont competition. Artists need more of this kind of community as part of their careers! You don’t want to miss this episode. Lacey’s personality is as bright and colorful as the art she creates. When endless exploration + moxie meet, you get Lacey Hennessey. Check out Lacey’s work below: @laceyhennessey_ www.laceydoes.com
