Corrine Yonce and Mary Lacy are the two artists collaborating on this project. They last worked together on a mosaic on the Burlington Pike Path in 2022. You can read more about that project in this Seven Days article, or by following this link. Read more about each artist below.
Mary Lacy is originally from Jericho, Vermont. She grew into her practice as a muralist and In 2017 she did a nine-city mural tour, sponsored by Benjamin Moore, in her personal bucket truck, that took her everywhere from a seven story building on Broadway (NYC), to the rural towns of the Mississippi Delta, to just off Route 66 in Gallup, New Mexico. Much of her mural work juxtaposes the natural with the man-made, bringing a sense of imagination, wonder, and life back into our concrete and physical surroundings.

Corrine Yonce is an artist, fair & affordable housing advocate, and documentarian. Yonce often combines visual art with ethnographic media, including audio interviews, household objects, and photographs. Her story-centered figurative paintings and installations dig into the concepts of home and housing from a community and personal perspective. She is the founder of the Voices of Home project, a seven year partnership with the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition and housing providers across the state where she interviewed residents about “home” and co-created art installations and portraits. She lives and works in Winooski, Vermont and teaches tenant skills and Fair Housing workshops with the Fair Housing Project of CVOEO.
