Overview
My name is Karla, and I’m a New York-based children’s educator and face-painting artist, I’ve spent over 10 years combining my passion for kids and creativity into magical experiences. Whether it’s transforming a shy child into a fearless superhero or painting delicate flower crowns for aspiring princesses, I ensure every design reflects their unique personalities while adding a spark of fun and empowerment.
I use only top-quality, natural products designed to be gentle on soft, sensitive skin. With my teaching background, I know how to engage and entertain children, keeping them engaged as they wait for their turn. Let's create some magic together!

February 2, 2025Beautiful!
We invited Karla to do face painting for my daughter's 5th birthday party and she was the star of the show. All the kids loved her, and face painting was so beautiful and original. I wish my daughter didn't have to wash her face :) I highly recommend Karla.
