- How did you get started doing this type of work?
While volunteering at my church carnival as a face painter I saw something incredible. Every kid that had their face painted was nothing but smiles. How cool it is to go from a little boy to superhero or a normal girl to a beautiful princess. All this with nothing more than some fancy make-up and an imagination. I was reluctant to tell my husband what I wanted to do. Not because he would think that it was a dumb idea, but because he is an enabler and would push me outside of my comfort zone. My biggest fear was that I have no formal training "'what if no one likes my work?''. My husbands response to this was You have been blessed with a God given talent and you should use it. So from there we started researching online How, What, When, and Where I could do face painting. I would volunteer at my kids school, friends birthday parties you name it. We found incredible artists online that share their talents and technique, paints, glitter (I love glitter!!) and all the supplies I could ever think of. Little did I know there's a face painting world out there. That gave me the extra push I needed to do this. Now Im the one that puts the SMILES on the faces that transform your child into a superhero or princess. The most rewarding part is when I bring the mirror out after I finish and they get to see themselves for the first time. Its even better when I see them later, looking at their reflection in a window and still smiling from ear to ear.
