About
With over 14 years of experience in face painting, I specialize in creating beautiful, detailed designs for children and adults of all ages. When someone sits in my chair, they have my full attention—I make each guest feel like the most important person in the world.
I work with care, patience, and a gentle touch to ensure everyone has a fun, comfortable experience and leaves with a smile.
Please note: I focus exclusively on face painting and do not offer balloon animals.
If you’re looking to add color, creativity, and joy to your event, I’d love to help make it unforgettable.

Cori is truly awesome! She arrived right on time and gave 100% effort from start to finish. She was so accommodating with all the kids, making sure everyone got a turn within the scheduled time. Her facepainting was a massive hit with all the guests—everyone absolutely loved her work. We will definitely be hiring her again for our next event!

We were so happy we booked Twisted Bristles FacePainting!! She was incredibly pleasant to work with and so patient with all the kids.
The kids loved their facepaintings, and the designs turned out great. I'd highly recommend her!

Cori was incredible from start to finish. She works incredibly well with kids - she's kind, easy to talk to, and brings a positive energy to the space. The kids and parents loved her artwork. The process to connect with Cori was very easy and seamless. I look forward to having her again at a future event!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I price a job by the hour according to how big the job is and how far I have to travel.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once I have been hired, the process is very simple. I confirm the needs of the event, the date, time and address. The day of the event, I show up around 15 minutes prior in order to set up and then payment is received upon conclusion of the job.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a fine artist for over 30 years. I have been doing face painting professionally since 2012.
