Hi! Looking for a professional face painter at reasonable rates?
With over 32 years of professional face painting experience, I’ll help make your event extra special and truly memorable. I offer fast, beautiful designs so everyone gets a turn—full-face and mask designs, cheek and arm art, plus custom options to match your party theme.
I paint at community events, corporate events, art fairs, and birthday parties. I have an art education background and a genuine passion for painting and working with kids. My paints are non-toxic and FDA-compliant.
My favorite part is seeing the big smiles and hearing the wows when kids (and adults!) see their faces in the mirror. If you’d like to add colorful fun to your next event, I’d love to help.

Lynda arrived early to make sure she was on time, since our party took place during rush hour. I received so many compliments on the quality of her work and the kids were delighted. I will definitely hire her again.

Lynda was wonderful to work with. Easy to book and clear information and instructions on what she needed from me. She was friendly and professional. We expected more kids for the party and since there weren’t as many, she was kind enough to paint the same kids multiple times. Very sweet. Would recommend and rehire!

Lynda was just amazing to work with. The facepaintings on all the kids faces looked beautiful. It was an absolute hit at our girls’s first birthday party. I highly recommend!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is fair and competitive with other professional face painters. I also can offer more than 1 face painters for larger events. I offer a discount for 4 hours or more.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Messaging to begin with, giving them all the info they need from me and getting all the the details and requests from client.
At the event, i introduce myself, meet the client snd guest of honor (ex. Birthday child) I set up my area for facepainting and connect with the client and get any last minute info from the about the party.
I always engage with the kids I’m painting to make it a fun relaxing experience for them. And the best part is seeing there excitement after seeing their face in the mirror.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
