Mandala Painting Workshop

This 2-hour guided mandala painting workshop includes 12x12" different colored canvases and acrylic paints to choose from to create a painting for you to take home. Artist Kim Lucas will share why she loves mandalas and the benefits of creating them or even looking at them! Mandalas are inspired by feeling, which means each mandala created during the workshop will be unique allowing YOU to decide your colors and design. This guided workshop is for beginners to experts - Kim will be there to help if you get stuck. Everyone's mandala will come out as a beautiful expression of yourself!

About the artist:

Kim Lucas is a Delaware native and artist specializing in acrylic mandala paintings. While earning her Master’s degree in Nursing in 2014, she participated in an art course on a whim and fell in love. Since then, Kim has won “Most Inventive” with her 'Gates to Heaven' painting and her art is displayed in galleries and stores. In 2023 Kim began hosting art workshops and now hosts them in several different venues. These workshops include (but are not limited to) mandala painting, terrarium making, wreath making and candle making. She has developed her passion for art into a small business, Kim Lucas Art, under which she hosts events and is a vendor at various festivals and craft fairs. In 2024 Kim became the sole producer of Art Battle Philadelphia in hopes of bringing the community and artists together. While continuing her 17 years as a hospice nurse, Kim would love to be more involved with hospice patients and families, bringing therapy and respite to them in art form.
