My name is Lacy Hope Dobbs, and I was born and raised in the southern foothills of Appalachia. I live on Sand Mountain in Fort Payne, AL with my husband and our four children. We’re an unschooling family, so when I'm not painting, I spend most of my time learning and exploring alongside our kids. I don't have a lot of spare time right now, but when I'm able to steal a few minutes for myself I enjoy playing guitar, caring for my many houseplants, reading, and catching up on my favorite shows.

My work is inspired by my life in the Appalachian foothills and my love of the 1960's-70's. Even as a child, I was obsessed with the art, music, fashion, and decor from that era. I paint canvases, wood slices, and wood signs, as well as upcycled objects. I always say that I will paint literally anything once, and I love digging up old, vintage, rusty junk to upcycle into colorful, happy art. I source materials from local thrift shops, yard sales, friends who are throwing things away, recycled stuff from around the house, and even off the side of the road! I use bright, happy colors in my paintings and hope to bring joy to the hearts and homes of others through my work.
