About My Business
I have been face painting for the last 10 years with a specialty in full elaborate faces. As a professional in my field & hundreds if not thousands of faces under my belt. I come highly recommended & respected in the entertainment industry & the local area. 

Outstanding references & reviews can be provided over the many years I have been painting my world. Additional training & techniques are on going in the face & body art industry. In May 2008, I attended the Face & Body Art International Convention (FABAIC) in Orlando Florida to learn more about face & body art as a business and to bring my own business to a new and exciting level. I came away with an excellent knowledge of new cutting edge techniques, line moving tips & many new relationships in the face & body art community. 

It is clear to me that the love of face painting has blossomed into a career that I love and crave to do. To further my abilities in 2009, I went to Disney to be inspired with new ideas and creativity. I came back with many new and exciting ideas to offer for the birthday child. Education is on going & continual for the life of my business. I continue to strive towards the “Best Ever” in my field & was voted NH’s Best Face Painter by Hippo Press Best of 2011.

In 2007 & 2008….Make A Face was hired or purchased space for: 50+ private parties, 25+ mall events, 50 fairs, festivals & Old Home Days events & 15+ school events throughout NH.

In 2011 I was voted NH’s Best Face painter by Hippo press Best of 2011. Great addition to a  birthday party or any type of gathering, private parties to large scale community events.
It was my first trip to Disney with my family many years ago, that exposed me to full elaborate faces. A little girl I saw by the pool at Disney's Polynesian Resort at Disney World, with a sparkly tiger face inspired me instantly. It was most definitely fate knocking at my door. I knew I could deliver that level of art locally, and it fueled my desire to become a professional face painter. Having a seasonal site at Scenic View Campground in NH, at the base of the White Mountains only supplied me with all the children I could possibly paint & practice on - they are my original stars. It caught on like "wild fire" & I knew that was just the tip of the iceberg. NH was ready for an art explosion that is incredibly popular in the southern states & now in NH. I immediately unleashed my talent & launched my website in 2003.

So, here I am today - extremely well known & expected at most venues. By years of self teaching and dedication I began researching and learning as much as I could absorb through the internet, face painting forums, as well as relationships with successful fellow face painters from around the world and instructional videos and DVDs. I have poured myself into my business & let it take on a life of it's own, which has expanded into "extra-special girl parties" or that extra special evening out, such as: Semi Formals, Jr. Proms, Proms & dances.
I was born and raised in Nashua, NH and now reside in the great town of Merrimack.

I have always had an eye for color and a passion for art. Raised in an art filled home, creativity runs through my veins naturally.

My schooling focused on the arts. I have explored graphic arts, publications, oil paint, tolle painting, murals,  mosaics, pottery, drawing and crafting for at least 25 years.

I have participated on & off over the last 20 or so years in local craft shows to display and sell my creations.  Nothing held my interest in comparison to elaborate face painting and body art. 
Make A Face Elaborate Face Painting & Body Art was first established in 2003 and has grown tremendously over the last 10 years. Make A Face has become well known as a professional and a welcomed addition to most any event.

Services range from private parties to large scale community events. Waterproof glitter tattoos and airbrush temporary tattoos are all so offered for parties and select venues. Please inquire via email about these services. I have gathered extensive experience in the last 8 years, participating in many local events of varying sizes, including: NASCAR NH Motor Speedway which hired me for an M&Ms promotional event, the Deerfield, Hopkinton, N. Haverhill and Sandwich Fairs, festivals such as Rock'n RibFest in Merrimack, the Mall of NH, Mall at Rockingham and many Old Home Day events throughout New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine.

Make a Face is very well known locally, and has many steady clients that repeat business year after year after year. Customer testimonials and outstanding references are listed on my website as well as "Current Events" published for the public to view and visit me. Many of the events and clients I serve are repeat business, and I think that says a lot.

I have taught fellow painters the basics of getting started, and also recently trained a fellow painter in a more advanced level of technique. If you're interested, just email me and I will be happy to accommodate you or help to inspire your own individual style. See the services page for more class details.

I have worked very hard and timelessly building my business, all of my own thoughts and ideas and transforming what I do to reflect my personality, the environment it has created and a great desire to make children smile. I am extremely proud of what I have accomplished and how successful my business has become.

Thank you to all my loyal patrons and anyone I have graced with paint in the past 10 plus years!

I am an affordable "Professional Face Painter". I started face painting over 10 years ago at Scenic View Campground, in Warren NH at the base of the beautiful White Mountains of NH.

It grew like a fever and the next thing I knew I had a booth at the Warren Old Home Days 3 day event. The North Country News, a local newspaper to Warren, published photos of my work 2 years in a row. One being a large front page photo of a local girl painted as a tiger. NH To Do magazine also featured a large photo of a little girl with sparkly face flowers that I painted at the Hillsborough Hot Air Balloon Festival & Fair in their article on NH Fairs & Festivals April 2008 addition.

Voted NH’s Best Face Painter by Hippo Press Best of 2011.

The children always line up eager to become something new, my excitement and pleasure quickly came from the children's faces and most precious reactions. My slogan immediately was dubbed, "It's the face painting they hate to wash off."

How true that has become. Many, many parents tell me how difficult it is to have their child wash their face afterward. As I pursued it further, I created and built my website from the ground up to promote my love for painting elaborate faces and a way to showcase my work and list events I will be at publicly. Formally introducing my website and fabulously blossoming business to the public in 2003. In 2011 I have launched the new & upgraded website you see today.

I started by doing children's birthday parties and daycare events. The unique art form caught on like wild fire. Currently, there are more and more face painters popping up than ever before. Be sure they are professionals and only use FDA compliant make up or paint.  The designs on my site are for anyone to reinterpret, like a snowflake every design is unique in itself.
