My Journey
Gratitude + Growth + Community
I am who I am today because of the incredible people who invested in me, encouraged me, and shared their time and knowledge so generously. And it wasn’t just family or close friends... so many were kind strangers, community members, and volunteers who didn’t really know me, yet still welcomed me with openness and generosity when I reached out. This spirit of generosity, guidance, and belief in possibility allowed me to do things I never could have done on my own. This journey reflects their kindness as much as my effort, and I carry deep gratitude for every person who has poured into me along the way. In many ways, the work I do now is simply my way of honoring that generosity by sharing, teaching, and passing it forward with joy.
Timeline
2023
Gorge Artist Open Stuido
My first time publicly sharing my work. I showcased a wide collection of pieces, anchored by a 12-foot slab dining table created as a personal celebration of a graceful transition from a 10-year career into a new creative chapter.
2023
Lacey Spray LLC Established
Committed to building a creative practice centered on joy, curiosity, and making—while intentionally shaping a business that protects the joy of creating.
2024
I participated in the tour again and loved welcoming people into my space and sharing the stories behind my work. At the same time, I felt the pressure build from the moment I signed up until it was over, which helped me realize that the following year I wanted to shift my focus—giving myself winter time to rest, experiment, and play in the shop.
