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.

Sarah came to our birthday celebration where we hosted nearly 20 kids of ages between 5-12. Sarah came to the venue in time and set up her desk before the guests arrived. The my son, his friends, and their parents loved the face paintings she completed in the next 2-3 hours. I would not hesitate to refer my friends to her. Thanks Sarah.

Sarah Joy was absolutely fantastic! We had kids from 2.5-40 getting faces painted and everyone was thoroughly content with their design! Sarah Joy came on time, set up and had a lovely line organization for kids waiting to be painted- giving them numbers so they could enjoy the party and come back when it was their turn! Kids and adults were impressed with the kindness and the artwork experienced throughout the party!

Sarah attended our Annual mental health walk in San Mateo and was such a great addition to our community. Her beautiful face paintings were a hit with not only kids but lots of adults too!! We hope she will consider joining us next year. You will not be disappointed with having her at your next party or event.

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.
