About

I am an award-winning face and body artist with 12 years of field experience working in all sorts of environments, from small birthday parties to large scale music festivals, church summer camps to universities to dance clubs to art shows to large county fairs. I am a skilled SPEED PAINTER with a knack for surprising people with one-of-a-kind designs tailored to each individual. When developing a package for my clients, I book the best artists in the industry within the clients' budget. I will not disappoint you! What I love most about my job is that I am in a position of being able to make people happy. Have you ever noticed how happy people SHINE? There's a glow in every smile. It's magical and such an honor to have that capacity. It's like being able to bring light into the world with every face I paint, every balloon I make, every tattoo I create as people light up and shine when they look at themselves in the mirror or receive their balloon creation. I love my job!

The airbrush face painting was a huge hit as well as the balloon creations! The only thing I would change for next year would be to add additional artists as they were extremely popular and busy!!

Manja came to our school carnival this year to do some amazing face painting and balloon twisting. She was there early to set up, was flexible in working with what we wanted and did the most amazing face painting for our kids! Not only were they beautiful pieces of art, but they were each unique and done incredibly quickly! Once the first few kids got their faces done the line didn't stop until the carnival ended. The balloon twisting was also quick and perfect for the elementary school kids. Next year we will certainly be asking them back!

Manja and her team were amazing. My daughter wanted a 4 year old "Frozen" birthday and I hired Manja for face painting and twisted balloon decorations for the party. The ballons were absolutely stunning and really made the entire ambiance of the party more fun! The amount of balloons I received for the price was fantastic and super fun! Manja's face painting always steals the show at birthday parties. I have been to several that she was painting, and then hired her for my daughter's 4th birthday party. The kids just love it and the adults are always SO impressed with how quickly she is able to make the most amazing designs on small wiggly children. I would absolutely book Manja for a party or other fun event with children!

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes. Two annual training conventions - this year, maybe three as I am developing a larger team with more services. I attend several monthly classes/workshops, year-round. I have taken numerous business courses and currently am in a one-year Business Mentorship Program. I belong to a Professional Women's Business association.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was working in Early Childhood Education "to make a difference" in children's lives. I discovered face painting 17 years into my career. It was at this time that I met and married my husband. The transition from ECE to face painting happened as a result of a changing lifestyle and has evolved into a thriving business where I get to bring joy to people on an ongoing basis. It allows me to "make a difference" in people's lives as I help them celebrate and commemorate milestone occasions and give them some lasting memories to look back on and enjoy for always.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Hmmm... I do all sorts of gigs from children's birthday parties to company picnics to fairs and festivals to night clubs to adult theme parties to high school grad parties and so much more. My favorite large scale events are music festivals. My favorite children's events are birthday parties. My favorite overall events are company picnics and holiday parties. Okay, wait.. I really love doing them all! I'm like a chameleon or something! I love the dance clubs. Love the schools. Summer camps. Birthday parties. Company events. Grand Openings. Oh, my... I just Love them all!
