About

Hi! I have been doing this about 6 years. Kids seem to like my work and it puts them in a good mood. I use high-quality materials and work until every paint-ee is satisfied. I am fully vaccinated/boosted. Please note that if you're interested in my services, when I receive the deposit, *that* holds the booking. Please let me know if you have any questions. I charge for travel time if it's more than 30 minutes driving from wherever I am previously (my home or a previous gig). This is $30/hr

Sarah was terrific! My daughter's party was on a Friday afternoon and of course right during rush hour. She called me to tell me she might be late which I very much appreciated but she still ended up being on time. :) She got to work right away and I was highly impressed with her creativity and range of artwork displayed on the faces of my daughter's birthday attendees! Every child who wanted their face painted was able to take a turn and get what they wanted. She had drawn everything from a puppy dog face, to a creative green snake, a mermaid-theme etc. She was fantastic and I would definitely hire her again!

I hired Sarah for my daughter’s first birthday. My experience was great from beginning to end. She was quick and clear with communication, and her work was wonderful! All of my guests that got their face painted (ages 2yrs-50yrs) were very happy. I loved every design she did. If you’re looking to hire a face painter, she is the person! I will definitely hire her again if we need for another event. Thank you Sarah!
