Welcome to a world of colour and fantasy!
I have been face and body painting since 1990 and have a degree in Fine Arts and History of Arts. My profession has allowed me to travel all over the world.
I have a soft and gentle touch while painting clients and children love that I work quickly, but smoothly, with a calm and comforting demeanor. I am open and flexible when it comes to my clients, I will try to adapt to your requirements. I take my pride in my professionalism, my punctuality, and adhering to the highest levels of safety standards. I only use the safest water-based FDA-approved products on the market and am fully insured while working in Canada.
Along with my experience comes a wealth of awards, recognition and certifications.
I am a member of the CAFABA (Canadian Association of Face and Body Artists) and have been an Instructor in the art of face and body painting since 2007.
I am fluent in English, French, Dutch and Spanish.
I am the proud winner of 14 face and body painting awards from various competitions between 2007-2010 – including the 3 most prestigious awards possible: World Body-painting Champion (Austria) 2010, World Face-painting Champion (Austria) 2009 and North-American Body-painting Champion, (Las Vegas) 2010. These awards came after a lot of work and preparation: designing the concepts, the flow of colors, the interpretation of themes and general visual impact. Needless to say, I am very happy to have achieved these goals. Contrarily to many artists, I always work alone, without assistants, when competing.
However, if doing face painting in the Calgary area, I regularly ask the assistance of a few talented colleagues when an event requires more than one artist.

In 2015, Nissan launched the Die Hard Fan app (for iOS and Android devices). The app allowed college sports fans to virtually paint their game face using a smartphone or tablet (iOS and select Android devices) via augmented reality.
Lucie was selected to be the artist for the app meaning that her creations are virtually on sports fans faces all across the globe! You can check out the app by visiting diehardfan.com or by searching ‘die hard fan’ on the App Store or Google Play.
