Introduction: I am a professional face painter. I have won many awards for my talents. I also face paint on Cruise Ships for Royal Caribbean, at Boston Celtic games and Bruins fan fare. I have done corporate events and private parties. I also am a balloon twister delighting people as they watch. I have been a professional clown for over twenty years. Many times when I do a clown party I will bring one of my grandchildren with me to assist. He or She would also be in clown. I offer multiple services in and out of clown. I have a real famous mouse costume. One of my grand daughters does that wonderful frozen queen parties. I have been Mrs. Claus for a number of years going into preschools visiting children because Santa is so busy. I also am Mrs. Claus on the Mayors Enchanted Trolley Tour in Boston. Please contact me if you are interested in any of the services I offer. I love children, I love people. I love entertaining. When I see the smiles on the children faces as they look in the mirror after painting. A simple balloon animal brings so much joy and a complicated one brings awe! My famous mouse can be either male or female and I enjoy escorting the him /her as they pose for pictures with the kids. When I put on my make up for my Clown Character, it is a happy feeling that doesn't go away. And when I dress as Mrs. Claus, I become Mrs. Claus. peaceful, loving and caring. Life is a joy, and I love putting smiles on peoples faces!

Working with Maureen was truly a pleasure! She was professional and clearly experienced - it was so helpful for someone like me who had never hired anyone for face painting before! The kids at the party absolutely adored her and we were so pleased with the quality of her work. Absolutely will hire her again and would recommend!

We hired Punky-Doodles for our daughter’s second birthday party. Maureen was punctual, friendly, and a master with face paint! She made sure all the kids got what they wanted and even took the time to teach some of them how to make balloon animals. Her work was gorgeous. I would definitely recommend her for any event. Thank you, Maureen!

Highly recommend! Maureen and her husband were Mrs. Claus and Santa for our Annual Family Holiday Party! They were AMAZING! They took their time speaking to every child asking them what they would like for Christmas, had a "magic mail box" for the children's Santa letters, brought out their "magic book" to show if the children were on the nice list, and Mrs. Claus read "Twas the Night Before Christmas." Thanks so much for bringing the Christmas Magic to our gathering!
