About Lulu

“A joyous and seemingly effortless transformation is what I strive to bring to each of my clients homes. ”
Alicia ‘Lulu’ Danzig

Twin Cities based painter and instructor Lulu believes that nothing alters the mood of a room more than a fresh coat of paint. Her company Lulu Painting uses only the highest quality in products, a meticulous attention to detail, proper surface preparation, and innovative products and design to update your living space, office, and more.

Alicia “Lulu” Danzig was raised in Underhill, VT. Lulu got her start in the painting industry at the early age of 18 working for her father ’s painting business in Portland, ME. This is where she learned the ropes of the painting world and was first exposed to the art of ‘Faux’ Decorative Painting.

Lulu later attended Burlington College where she studied Art among other subjects and traveled to Guatemala, Africa, Belize, Germany, Czech Republic, Mexico, and Jamaica to help broaden her cultural senses. In each of these countries she spent time with either local artists , at art museums, trying her hand at various crafts, or simply being culturally inspired. These experiences led Lulu to create several series of oil and acrylic paintings which were sold at various Art shows throughout New England.

After this success, Lulu moved to Minneapolis, MN where she worked for a local Residential and Commercial house painting company. In 2005, Alicia launched LULU Painting and quickly began accepting clients in and around the Minneapolis area as well as in New England. Alicia is currently a member of the Stencil Artisans League, Inc. (SALI) and is the philanthropic chair for the Northern Territory Artisan League (NTA). Lulu regularly attends classes and seminars to keep her craft current and stay on top of trends in the industry.

You can also find Lulu teaching Decorative Painting courses over at the Minneapolis Institute of Fine Finishes.  Currently she is teaching both stenciling, fine finishing, wood icing, and distressed wood working courses.  By being a member of the school Lulu is able to keep on top of the trends and products that are vastly growing in the painting industry.
