FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have a minimum hour booking, though I prefer 90 minutes to give ample time for creativity. My price is based on hourly, but I will certainly do half-hour increments after the first hour.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in fine art and a certificate from Yale School of Drama in Theatrical Set Painting. I work as a full-time artist at The Goodspeed Opera House and paint faces on the weekends. I'm working on my henna skills and basic balloon twisting.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
After years of coercion from a fellow face painter, I finally caved and took up a brush myself. I wish I'd have started sooner because I absolutely love face painting.
