President’s Art Show: The Story Behind Lacee Black’s Twilight

Twilight Collage created by Lacee Black, SLCC Alumna

Twilight is a delicate moment where light and darkness coexist in perfect harmony. Lacee Black, Salt Lake Community College alumna, captured the ethereal moment in which the sun graces the red rocks of Southern Utah in her work of art which was part of SLCC’s 2022 President’s Art Show. No stranger to having her art displayed in galleries, Lacee has received awards for her artwork.

Lacee’s art piece entitled Twilight is a three-dimensional collage that captures that sun-setting moment using delicate hues of dusty pink and oranges with different textures. The magical and peaceful way Lacee captures the scattering of the sun’s rays throughout the rocks and vegetation of Southern Utah while adding texture to the image makes the piece nothing short of blissful.

“Southern Utah is one of my favorite places. It brings many beautiful memories. It’s one of my safe places,” shares Lacee, which echoes dreamily in her art.

“I like to take inspiration from everywhere I go,” says Lacee, who, in good artist fashion, takes a sketchbook and watercolor pen with her to fully capture the essence of a time and period she enjoys. As Lacee flips through her sketchbook, she recalls stories and memories created from Southern Utah to New York and from Florida to France.

Capturing the essence of a time, place, and emotions is difficult, especially when the art medium is small pieces of paper collectively glued to comprise a final image.
