WHO WE ARE

Founded in 2011, Blue Ice Studio has grown into a community that fosters creativity in a friendly, fun environment that encourages and inspires artistic growth. Owner and artist, Ashley Lucas, believes everyone has an artist inside of them and wants to help you find your own unique artistic voice. She also believes art is a powerful form of self expression and point of connection between people. She strives to bring that to her local communities.

Ashley has experience both in the art studio and in the classroom. This means that you not only get a teacher with great art technique, but great teaching technique as well. Ashley has earned a double Bachelor's degree in Studio Art and Art Education from Southwest Minnesota State University. Over the years she has taught art classes and creative events to many area schools, community education programs, area businesses, non-profits, city celebrations, public library programming, and private parties. She is also working on completing a set of outdoor murals in Lake Lillian, MN.

Want to get involved? Peek at our event calendar and join a community art class, hold a private party, browse the online art shop, or hire Ashley to paint a mural or commissioned piece.

Studio and artist rental for private parties and educational programs are also available upon request with prior reservation. Please don't hesitate to get in touch to learn more about the studio's offerings, events, classes, and artwork for sale. Contact Ashley with any of your creative needs!
