About Lucia

🎨 A Gentle Touch & A Passion for Face Painting

 With a heart for children and a brush full of creativity, Lucia brings over 40 years of experience working with kids—and more than 17 years as a dedicated face painting artist.


Her journey began at a Clowns Canada convention, where she took her first face painting course—and she’s been hooked ever since. A former home daycare provider, Lucia’s gentle nature and love for children shine through in every interaction. Most kids are already smiling before she even lifts a brush.


Lucia has trained with some of the best in the industry, both in person and online, including:
🎨 The Wolfe Brothers · Sean Avram · Jay Bautista · Pashur - Jinny · Marcela Murad · Gary Cole · Pat Newton · Mark Reid · Heather Green


She’s also attended top conventions like Bodyssey and  International Face Painting School continuously honing her craft with new designs, techniques, and tools. It’s not unusual to find her painting daily—just for the joy of it and the opportunity to improve.


Whether she’s painting a butterfly, superhero, or princess, Lucia creates beautiful, detailed designs with warmth, care, and a calming presence that puts children instantly at ease.


Butterfly, Batgirl, Monster and sugar skull
