Education, Training, and Memberships:  I am a member of FPBAA (Face Painters and Body Art Association for International Artists), I have taken classes and workshops from World Renowned and Award Winning Face and Body Artists such as: Mark Reid (New Mexico), Carolyn Roper (England), Nick and Brian Wolfe of Wolfe Brothers(Orlando), Christopher Agostino(New York), Raphael and Gary Fieldhouse (Wales), Nick Hererra (Orlando), Jacklyn Oootman (Holland), Charlotte Herring (Denver, CO), Gary Cole of Snazaroo USA, and Lisa Smiley (California).

I attend professional Face and Body Conventions in Florida and workshops and continue updating and improving my art form.

I won second place amongst these international artists in the prestigious 2008 FPBA Convention's Hat Contest for my original and handmade needle felted hat creation.

 

In general, I have an AA in Biology and a BA in English and post grad work.  I owned a child care facility, and have taught at both college and university.  I have had an art business for most of my life, which began when I was 12 years old with my mom and I painting holiday windows.  Mom got tired of it, I created a business which I did into my thirties.  I had a Greeting Card business and Face Painting business in Eugene, Oregon for many years.  I have had a face painting business which began in Southern California in 1980, now in Oregon and California with a few selected events So. California!  We ARE available for events anywhere our trusty 40' bus can travel!  We travel for festivals and other large events -- have paint brush will travel!  ... so we have a bit of experience at parties and celebrations and making kids and adults smile!

We are glad to serve our surrounding Oregon and California areas with colorful & joyful FACE and BODY PAINTING!

*I have been painting faces for children and adults for over 25 years.  Today's FACE PAINTERS are TRUE ARTISTS and ENTERTAINERS.  I use only FDA approved face paint/makeup and other materials.   Along with working with the BEST face paint and supplies, I strive to create an atmosphere which forms a rich & fun experience for all in addition to maintaining high safety and hygiene standards (please see my Safety & Hygiene page for more information)

Professionally, I have been an artist my entire life and had my own window painting company at age 13 years old until into my 30's.  I was a travel agent and also have taught English at a university and microbiology at a college.  But, I always continued to be inspired most by creating my art.  I paint on cavas, wood, glass, plastic about anything I can get my hands upon.  I carve wood, create wool sculptures (felting) and knit. 

On a personal note, I have raised two terrific now grown sons in California and am married to Captain D with whom I share a life of adventure!  We Hike in the forests of Oregon, the High Sierras, Sail on Mother Ocean, and Paint faces.

Also, professionally, I have raised and trained horses and dogs and I hold great love and respect for all creatures on this planet.

I consider my FACE and BODY PAINTING art, LIVING ART!  It is exciting to know that my art LIVES for a few hours and then be washed away to be only left in memories and pictures.  This is a very freeing way to express the magic of art.

Our examples/galleries are all continually UPDATED to show our NEW DESIGNS and share the wonderful children's faces -with all who enter this magical site of painted kids.  Adults can have a similar FACE & BODY PAINTING magic at formal parties, receptions, and fairs.

Think like the big BUSINESSES do...  Book FACE the PAINT to offer FACE & BODY PAINTING for CORPORATE and PROMOTIONAL launchings and events.  Face Painting provides unique, inspiring and memorable attention for your clients and products.  Think of your logo on someone's face...  and a picture to keep that impression alive.  -Marketing on a personnel level, pardon the pun.

I enjoying helping to create a special gift of tastefully painting a belly for Pre Natal celebrations -which can be private or included as a Baby Shower Activity or Gift for the parents to be.  Think of all the hard work a mother goes through in pregnancy and giving birth.  A sweet photo of a painted belly documents that most amazing time.  As a former Doula (birthing assistant for mothers in labor), I have years of experience and sensitivity for this magical time.

In so many cases, FACE and BODY PAINTING can add the MAGIC in a celebration.  It is intriguing how a little paint can bring the magic up to the surface!
