"I have always been fascinated by landscape: from the area surrounding my farm to the vast expanses of the American west. From Indiana, Michigan, Utah, New Mexico and other western sites."

Terry Lacy,

All of the paintings are of watercolor or handmade paper. Terry learned the process of handmade paper, fifty years ago, from Katheryn Clark at Twinrocker Handmade Paper in Brookston Indiana. As an artist, Terry was captivated by the centuries-old process of hand papermaking since my first encounter with it. Originally, paper was vital to society as it provided a means to write and print information essential to the functioning of any developed society. Most paper produced during that time was white or light-colored for practical purposes.

Terry began working with handmade paper over fifty years ago, continually refining and exploring the medium to create his handmade paper landscapes. Living on a farm in the Wabash Valley with his wife since 1973, the surrounding landscape has become a major influence on his work. While most artists use traditional mediums like watercolor, oil, or pencil, Terry uses pigmented cotton fibers suspended in water to create one-of-a-kind handmade paper pieces.

The Monticello-Union Township Public Library is pleased to announce that we have received a $1,000 grant from the Community Foundation of White County to assist with easing access for Lincoln Township residents to have a library card.

In Indiana, non-resident library cards are available for a fee to individuals living in townships outside of any library taxing district. These cards allow non-residents the same access to services that resident card holders have by paying an amount at least equal to what the average resident pays within a library's taxing district. Contracts are often set up with some townships to cover all or a portion of the fee. Currently, there is no existing contract between Lincoln Township and a public library in White County, so residents of Lincoln must pay full non-resident card fees to White County Libraries. Non-resident cards are good for one year. The 2025 non-resident library card fee at Monticello-Union Township Public Library is $80. The grant will cover $35 of the fee and the individual will pay $45. This opportunity will be available until the grant funds are depleted.
