I’ve been an artist all my life, in fact, there is a history of artists and the entertainment industry in my family genes. I’m also an educated artist, with a BA degree, cum laude, in art, specializing in drawing. I taught art for ten years at Piedmont adult school before embarking on my party entertainment ventures.

Face Painting, which I’ve been doing for 20+ years came very easiily and naturally to me, but not without education. I’ve studied with many of the top artist’s in the field including, The Wolfe Bros, Olivier Zeger, Pashur, & Ginny, to name a few. I also lead workshops from time to time. Of paint, I prefer Wolfe FX paint for it’s brilliancy of color and have customized my own paint pallet to create some wonderful results.

For the past 10 years I've been face painting every Wednesday for Family Night @ The Falls Restaurant @ The Blackhawk Country Club. The job has enabled me to become a stronger and faster painter as those kids really test my abilities with their requests. I also created a system to expedite the wait in line with "The Rainbow Express Line". This means, if you don't want to wait in line for a high detail design, you go to the express line.

I load my brush and start the kids counting to 45 (seconds) and that's it. I will paint 3 express designs for one detailed design, and it really speeds the line along. I demonstrate that, though it may be painted fast it can still make you go "Wow!"
