Introduction: My work in face painting stands out from my warm and personal touch and my love of children and people in general! I like the freedom to explore on a canvas that is temporary. Not feeling like the work is going to be permanent, as in canvas or paper, helps me to let my creative juices flows and try to techniques and ideas. I can then translate some of these new things I learn as I paint to my other forms of art. I value my work so all deposits are non-refundable. If an event is cancelled, the deposit is used as a credit towards a future event.

This review is LONG overdue. We booked Sarah for my daughter's 3rd birthday and she was absolutely FANTASTIC. She is amazing with the kids and brought a really calm and playful energy to the party. We were outdoors at a park and she had all the things she needed to do the face painting. Having Sarah at the party made the entire day feel so much more special. She was able to execute any request from all of the different toddlers (SO IMPRESSIVE because there were some interesting requests like my daughter's dragon - black on the side of her face with pink smoke around him). I would book Sarah again in a heartbeat and highly, highly recommend her! She is a gifted artist and made my daughter's day!

Sarah Joy was an absolute pleasure to work with and a total hit at my daughter's 4th birthday party! She was easy to communicate with, reliable, and great with the kids and her face painting was gorgeous, the kids were thrilled and I've already had many parents ask for her number! I would hire her again in a second! She's a true gem--an incredibly talented artist and lovely human!

I made the best decision hiring Sarah for face painting at my daughter’s birthday party. The face painting was amazing. She paid extra attention to bday girl n listened to all kids requests. I will highly recommend her to my friends who will need face painting services for events in future

Working with Sarah Joy was more like fun and chatting with a friend. She was amazing to work with from the first initial contact all the way until the end of the party. The kids had a great time and really loved all of their painted creations. Her artwork is truly exceptional and I've never seen such amazing artistry! I cannot wait to have another party in which we need a face/body painter as we certainly will be having Sarah Joy join us.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I like to keep my hourly rates affordable because I want my services to be accessible to all. I raise my rates during busy seasons like Halloween to make the time and stress a little more worth it, and if I have to travel distances taking over 30 minutes.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I have been painting since I was old enough to hold a brush: probably 3 or 4 years old. I began with watercolors and oil paints, then acrylic, and in recent years, my new passion: face and body paint. I was always very protective of my work and refused to take art classes because I wanted my art to be my own. I finally broke down in college and added a studio art minor to my Spanish language major and quickly discovered that I was in heaven. I'm not sure if I ever chose visual art: I think it chose me.
