Nora is amazing and she painted some great faces! Thank you so much for coming and sharing your awesome skills at my kiddos party! :)
Kelly E.
Nora did a wonderful job at my 6yr old bday party. She was very affordable which helped me out a lot on my budget. Nora made sure every child had their face painted before she left. She was very fast and effective. Everyone was very happy with their face painting. I would definitely hire her again! Thanks Nora!!!

I am an interior decorator. I have known Nora for several years. We have collaborated on many projects. My clients have all been extremely happy with the end results. My first project with Nora was to do a very large mural in the foyer of my own home that exceeded all my expections. I will continue to use Nora on all my future projects.

Nora does art classes in our assisted living community. Her rate is reasonable and our residents enjoy working with her.

A. Murals and faux finishes of any style and size- Children's rooms, outdoor walls, family rooms and more. Face Painting at birthday parties, corporate events, school and church functions. Art Lessons and Art Therapy for all ages.
A. Face painting for 6 hours for a little girls medical fundraiser at Kid-toKid resale shop in Gilbert Arizona.
Mural work at Premier Catering of Arizona in Mesa Az, Ongoing Art Lessons and Art Therapy at assisted living centers around the valley.
A. I am not the least or most expensive, but I am the best at what I do. I work with the client to give them exactly what they want regardless if it's Murals, faux finishes or face painting. I work very well with clients and students of all ages to make art understandable and doable regardless of age or ability.
A. Most Important- "Do you use FDA approved for skin Facepaints" My answer- I ONLY use FDA approved paints specifically meant for skin. NO exceptions.
"Do you have a 'Plan B' if a child is nervous to get painted, or shows signs of any skin rash or abnormality- Answer for me- Yes, I provide a drawing for the child on the spot- either a caricature or a drawing of the child's choice.
"Can you create artwork to match our theme?" Answer- I am a true artist- I can create and compliment your theme very easily without any notice.
A. I have spent 18 years working with clients to create custom artwork in forms of murals, canvas art, face painting, and faux finishes. I work extremely well with my client to understand what they want and I execute that desire. I work very quickly, but more important to me than the time requirement, is that I get it right and the client is totally satisfied.
As a part of my work ethic, I take the time, buy the better products and do the extra work required to really insure that the mural or finish is created well from the prep work to the final protective coating to ensure years of enjoyment.
Even my facepainting and caricature artwork is approached in this same method.
I want my artwork to be fantastic, protected and long living for my own artistic ego as well as my client's financial investment and years of enjoyment.
A. Quite literally, EVERYTHING!!!! Meeting people, making them happy and smile. Being exposed to new surroundings, seeing new ideas for artwork of any medium. Encouraging people to try art- in whatever form. Telling kids (and adults) "Yes, you can draw, just practice." I really love it.
A. What's the normal Mural price- There is no Normal Mural- EVERY job is different. If I paint 5 Italian scene murals- they will all be different because of many factors including- size, wall texture, lighting in room, and many other factors. Style of artwork, colors, level of detail, size, height of wall(if scaffolding is needed) all play a part of pricing.
I will come meet with client free of charge- Take measurements, work up sketches, select approximate finishes and provide estimate of cost and start date at time of first meeting.
Facepainting, caricature drawing bookings and Art Lessons can be discussed over the phone easily.
A. That it is very physical and takes time. I work quickly, and long hours. I dearly love what I do, so time does not affect me really till the end of the day.
I do my very best with every client, and try to add a personal touch or momento of the client into what ever I do for them. A special date painted on a wine bottle in a Italian theme mural, special colors in a finish, etc.
A. My Mom and grandmother are great artist, I was fortunate to inherit those abilities. I spent almost 20 years doing Mechanical Drafting (and other drafting disciplines) just so I could draw, then a friend asked me to paint a mural in her kitchen- that turned into two walls 18 feet long each...the rest is history. The facepainting came after a mural client asked if I could paint her children at a birthday party...
A. Facepainting and caricature drawing at Phoenix Children's Hospital for patients and their families. I also handed out over 100 hand drawn pictures for anyone who wanted one. It's amazing how this simple art can spread such joy. I've been able to help a few times now, and been asked to come back this next week for a different group, CAN'T WAIT!
A. A mural at a church in phoenix, approximately 500 square feet (45 feet long) Courtyard view looking out over lush desert landscape. Flagstone courtyard floor, stucco pony wall, lots of mountains, trees, potted plants and trees on courtyard, sunset flowers. Lots of details, realistic colors and style.
Primed wall, layout mural lightly, paint mural, seal with polyurethane for washability and protection.
Time to create start to finish- 7 days over 40 hours. Discounted some for church- $2000.00
A. Not too complicated. facepainting and caricature pricing varies by location a bit- East valley Tempe, Chandler is $40 an hour with usually a 2 hour requirement. West valley, far east valley, North valley is $50 with 2 hours (this offsets gas and time) travel to Tuscon, Benson, Sierra Vista, Clifton is available, with extra charge to offset gas.
Murals and Faux finishes are either based on a square footage of wall space, or a project rate- at the consultation I figure it both ways, and give the client the cheaper of the two. For example, a powder room with 10-14ft ceiling height would cost more on a square footage rate than it would on a project rate if I was creating a color glaze finish- so I take that into consideration. I go over this in great detail at the free consultation.
Art lessons and Art therapy based on a case by case situation. Starting at $25 per class, but number of people, frequency of classes, at my studio or your location are all variable. I provide all supplies.
A. For murals, do not do any copyrighted artwork without permission- it is absolutey not worth the lawsuits. In 18 years I have never lost a job because I would not do copyright infringement- as a true artist you can always create your own art.
The murals and faux finish work is very labor intensive and physically demanding. It's not "I want to stand and paint that pretty picture." Exercise, strengthen and take care of yourself. It's not for the weak.
A. Truely Artistic, My years of mechanical drafting and very mechanical nature enables me to be a very good 3D artist, creating very realistic Trompe l'oeil effect artwork.
Ability to listen to, understand and create exactly what the client wants.
Work with children, seniors and make them enjoy what they are doing.
A. Getting better at pencil portraits. Watercolor painting. More detailed portfolio for facepainting (I have a HUGE portfolio, but it can get bigger) Being a better teacher of my crafts.
