Biography

Lacy McClary has created her beautiful artwork out of two local studios over the last 18 years. Recently losing both her Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach studios in Hurricane Ian has not deterred Lacy from touching the community with her color and inspiration. She recently donated her time for painting the Legacy Tower in Times Square on Fort Myers Beach to bring color, hope and life back to the beach she loves so much. She is currently accepting commission work as she transitions into her future studio. Lacy has a fierce love of the islands, the water and our local community. She loves to give back and help whenever possible. Let Lacy’s abstract view point guide you to look past the broken and see the beautiful. Lacy’s hope is that her work inspires joy and a fresh perspective on the beauty that surrounds us.

Lacy McClary is best known for her whimsical, island-inspired paintings and reclaimed wooden boho art pieces which have adorned the walls of many private homes, condos, resorts, restaurants and galleries throughout the islands of Sanibel and Captiva, and beyond.

Lacy McClary Studio came to life in 2004 when the artist moved to Sanibel Island and found herself filled with inspiration from her tropical surroundings. From birds to fish to tree frogs, sail boats, sunrises, sunsets and various sea life, Lacy found herself splashing her inspirations onto canvas. Lacy continues to express herself with passion and color, creating original paintings and commissioned works of art year around.

Lacy believes you should surround yourself with things that make you happy and feel free. She loves to challenge herself and her clients to dare to be different. "We should all embrace the journey, believe in the destination, and live in the now!"

On a Personal Note...

As an island artist, I am grateful to be surrounded by the color, beauty and inspiration that fills each moment. Everything in my environment influences my creative process ... the colors I see, the feelings I sense, the air I breathe. Even the people I come in contact with ... all of their richness and vibrancy are woven into the cloth that makes me who I am.

I strive to harness and blend these feelings and ideas, allowing them to flow creatively from my free-spirited nature through the paintbrush and onto the canvas.

I am truly honored that I get to live my passion every day. My goal is to love life to the fullest, embrace each moment, and express my visions in the most imaginative and inspirational ways possible.
