ABOUT
John Lackey is a painter, printmaker, writer and designer whose studio, Homegrown Press, recently moved from Galerie Soleil to its new home gallery in a beautifully renovated bakery building at 574 North Limestone in Lexington, Kentucky.
Through his art he has been fortunate enough to work with Wilco (the Band), Larkspur Press, LexArts, the Kentucky Arts Council, Kentucky State Parks, Holler Poets Series, University Press of Kentucky, Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, Garden Gate Records, Fillmore Auditoreum Denver, Terrapin Hill Farm, Alfalfa Restaurant, Clyde's Retaurant Group, and many of Kentucky's fine authors and musicians.
A former television station art director, John is a juried member of the Kentucky
Guild of Artists and Craftsmen.
Homegrown Press started in 1987 as a traveling art business, selling John's designs screen printed on T-shirts and stickers, often printed in campgrounds and parking lots while on the fly, and was at first only sketches done while hitchhiking. With its move into the 1880 building at the corner of 6th Street and N Limestone, Homegrown has found a home. Please schedule a visit soon.
