Welcome to my Face Painting website. I hope you enjoyed viewing all of the wonderful and creative happy faces I have painted. As a child I aspired to be a Special FX make-up artist (after seeing the making of Michael Jackson's Thriller) or an Art Teacher and I am fortunate to have been able to achieve both. I have been teaching since 2007 and I couldn't ask for any other jobs that are more fun!!
I was inspired to paint faces from my interest in Special FX art, dressing up for Halloween and being asked to paint faces at family parties. I have been painting for over 6 years for private parties and community events. I find that both children and adults all love to get painted. It is a chance to transform oneself into anything you want and brings imaginations to life in a matter of minutes.
I am available for celebrations, private/community events, block parties, fairs, Halloween makeup etc. I look forward to speaking with you about your event and hope that I can help make it a more memorable and exciting time for you and your guests.
