About Lucia
Lucia has been working with kids for over 30 years and face painting for 15 years. Since attending her first face painting course as part of a Clown’s Canada convention, Lucia has put her heart and soul into studying the art. As a former home day care provider, Lucia has a love and gentleness for children that they feel even before they sit in her chair.
Lucia has studied in person or online with The Wolfe Brothers, Sean Avram, Jay Bautista, Pashur Jinny, Marcela Murad, Gary Cole, Pat Newton, Mark Reid and Heather Green among others and has attended face painting conventions such as Bodyssey. Almost daily Lucia has her face paints out and is learning new techniques and ways to make her face painting even better.
