📝 My Story & Passion for Face Painting
Face painting is more than art — it’s a creative way for families to connect, build confidence, and make memories. The calming brushstrokes, colours, and textures create a gentle sensory experience that helps children feel grounded, expressive, and joyful. For many families, a child’s first face painting becomes a special bonding moment shared with their parents.
💖 How It All Began
My journey began with a simple request from my four-year-old son: “Can you paint me as Spider-Man?” What started as playful fun soon became a meaningful way to connect with my kids through creativity.
During my daughter’s pregnancy — just before the pandemic — life felt overwhelming and uncertain.
Face painting became my outlet, helping me navigate postnatal depression and find balance through colour and imagination.
A small family hobby grew into a true passion, and eventually into a thriving business.
Today, my daughter loves painting beside me, dreaming of becoming a face paint artist like mummy, and my son proudly helps at events with his natural energy and charm.
🎉 From Passion to Profession
What began at home has now become a profession filled with joy. I’ve brought colour and creativity to birthday parties, school events, community festivals, business activations, and large council celebrations. I’ve built and led talented teams of artists, ensuring every event feels vibrant, organised, and full of magic.
From Christmas and Lunar New Year to Easter, Diwali, Halloween, and more — each celebration is another chance to spark imagination and spread smiles.
For me, face painting is about joy, connection, and confidence — those magical little moments that bring people together and colour our world.
