Lacey Finchum is the 21st century human contemporary artist known as Lace Finch. She ran off to the woods in 2014 and ended up learning a ton about herself and the world. She taught herself to paint and forage and fix things including herself. 

In 2023, after seeing behind the capitalist/colonialist curtain, nihilism and hopelessness took over for a moment but she knew she had to do something and the only thing she knew she could do was make art. So she set out to make art that fights the systems of oppression that ravage the people and the planet.

She now uses acrylic paint to turn headlines and history into surreal allegories that aim to convey how ridiculous it is that humans have been doing the same horrendous shit to each other, and the world, over and over again throughout history.

Lacey has worked in fine art, murals, teaching, and writing, as well as psychology, and environmental protection and recreation but her love is in painting, painting big. Her previous work can be found mostly in her closet but also online, on several public and private walls, and in collections across the world.
