I can’t quite believe I’m coming into my 14th year of being freelance, where has the time gone? Revisiting my passion for body painting, must have been my biggest challenge; pushing my creative boundaries and loving it! Met some incredible artists in the body painting world. Another highlight, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with inspiring photographer, writer & teacher Damien Lovegrove in his hollywood lighting workshops/dvd and art nude, working with some lovely models achieving an array of stunning shoots.

A music video shot in challenging weather conditions for the beautiful fado singer Claudia Aurora, was all worth it though. Busy with brides getting hitched all year round, given me the opportunity  to visiting idyllic locations on the way. Transforming 100?s of faces at photographic makeover studios styles such as classic smokey ,natural, vintage & high fashion – which I continue to enjoy, especially the confidence boost it can also help give clients.

In 2014, Claudia Lucia will bring you certainly more body painting (Paintopia competition in May), plus hopefully an exhibition! Eek! Fashion. styling collaborations…watch this space. Looking forward to how each day enfolds with a new & exciting year ahead.

If you would like to keep up what I’m up to, you can follow me on the old Facebook and Twitter. Thanks for reading. Wishing you a very happy, healthy & prosperous New Year!
