About
My work stands out from others that do what I do because I love what I do and this is my passion. I put as much effort in making a simple cheek butterfly design as to making a full mask butterfly. I am also very responsible and when it comes to dealing with children, I am very, very patient.
I enjoy painting in general. But face painting takes the challenge a bit farther because you are painting on a living (and moving) canvas. You have a nose and eyes that you have to take in consideration when painting as opposed of a flat surface. Give me a bit of an extra challenge and throw in a 3 year old, who likes to squiggle and move around a lot when being painted. What does this mean to you? Probably nothing. What this means to me is a huge deal. I can paint a kid in three minutes. When I am done, I feel self accomplished. I have been painting for 5 years. July 2016 starts my 6th year. And since day one, I have gave it my all to these kid's faces. When I see a little girl smile because she feels beautiful when she sees herself in the mirror, it gives me a sense of accomplishment and success as an artist. When I see a little boy roar and scream out his lugs to mimic the sound of a tiger I created on his face, run to his mom to roar and show his imaginary paws... I feel a great joy. It is just a pleasure to do what I do. Kids are the most genuine people on this earth. They will not tell you that they like a painting you did if they do not mean it. That is what I enjoy about the work I do. All the passion involved in it. The love I put into my art.

Working with SolShine was a great experience all around. The artist was very professional and arrived right as scheduled. The face painting and balloons were a hit and the kids loved it! Artistry was top notch. We will definitely come back for future events

FAQs
What types of customers have you worked with?
The most common jobs I perform are face painting and balloon twisting for birthday parties. I usually have 3 events per day on the weekend and 90% of the time they are face painting and balloon art. I have also been at school festivals, school fundraisers, private parties, 15th birthdays (quinceaneras) and one Sweet 16th birthday. I must say, I really love what I do. It is not a job; it is my passion.
