About
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.

Sarah Joy did my daughter 1st birthday party last year in August. We all loved her work. I just got ahold of being able to do a review because I was looking for her inbox and couldn’t find it but I was like “we need her again!!”. Overall good and reasonable pricing hopefully she has the availability for my daughters birthday this year🙏

We had a great experience. She was very responsive and made sure she knew all the details prior to the event. She was on time and had a great energy that the kids really took to. She was adaptive in the face designs to make sure all the kids got a turn within a good time. Would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely be using again in the future.

Sarah Joy made my daughter’s birthday party truly unforgettable! The parents and I were all amazed by her talent, and we unanimously agree that she’s the best face painting artist we’ve ever had for our kids. Her artistry and attention to detail were beyond impressive. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future events. Thank you, Sarah, for your incredible work!

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.
