Rob Lucas is a 31 year old out professional living in Bankers Hill. Feeding his need for expression through art. Lucas has always expressed himself through this medium, ever since his days in high school. His past also includes a 10 year, 15 crown/title stint in the world of competitive female impersonation.

“I have always been a creative individual, and I am only truly happy when I have the ability to express myself through art.” His creative roots started with mixed media that included water color, pen, and pencil sketchbooks. He further continued his passion for art by working with makeup and cosmetics to create new facial and body landscapes. He then moved on to costume design and the creation of set and prop designs for the productions used to win the 15 crowns.

Rob Lucas not only takes passion in giving the community an artful scope in which to view the male figure, but in community service. At the age of 20, Lucas carried the title of Miss International Gay Pride for the United States and Canada and used this as a catalyst to raise money for HIV/AIDS awareness funds.

He emphasizes, in community involvement and in his personal life, the idea of inclusion and unity. “I am sometimes saddened by how we segregate ourselves as a community. Bear, Twink, Tranny, Jock ...who cares? In the end we all have to live with each other, and I am proud to represent the best in that culmination of diversity never shutting the door to my home, heart or studio in anyone’s face.”
