Overview
Welcome! Art knows no bounds, so join me for Beyond-the-Mask body art at your next gathering! Health is key, and I make the art fit. At my table, hygiene is practiced and encouraged. I am fully vaccinated as of April 18.
Featured with the Rays, Rowdies, Busch Gardens, Children's Home Network, and more, I paint lively, unique, freehand designs -- original, classic, and themed. Art is most expressive in its uniqueness, so stencils have no place in my toolkit.
A guest's joy is my joy. I meet any design request to ensure each guest is beyond happy. Challenges welcome. Feel free to ask me about availability, face paint, henna, or photography. I let you Take It Personally!
Thank you!
~ Kelly

Could not have asked for a better face painter! She came early and was set up and ready to go when the party started. She had come up with some adorable ideas inspired by our party theme (Peter Pan), but was more than happy to take requests! A few kids even went back for a second round. Will definitely book her for our next event :)

Kelly recently did the face painting for our church's Fall Festival. She was quick and very friendly. Many of our attendees said it was one of their favorite parts of the festival. Thanks, Kelly!

~ FACE PAINTING & HENNA ~
Face Painting: Guests choose among a set of cheek, half-face, and/or full face designs in their choice of colors; the design set can include custom designs specified by request prior to booking.
Henna: Guests choose among a set of 1/2" to 6" designs; the design set can include custom designs specified by request prior to booking. Guests are advised to let the henna dry without contact (of clothes, body, or other) for 1-2 hours; the stain often remains on the skin for about one week.
**Please consider the following expectations regarding length of performance**
- 25 guests/hour average for single-cheek or half-face designs for face painting or up to 3" henna, recommended for larger gatherings and/or shorter performances.
- 12 guests/hour average for full-face designs or 3"-6" henna, can be offered for smaller gatherings and/or longer performances.
- Ask about including a second artist at a special rate, if needed.
~ PHOTOGRAPHY ~
- Guests and the venue will be photographed candidly or posed, while roaming or at a fixed location.
- Within 14 days after the event, the hiring client will receive via e-mail one digital file each of up to 50 raw images or, if preferred for an additional $50, cropped/enhanced images instead of raw.

Setup Requirements
If outdoors, a flat, shaded area is preferred during the day, well-lit during the evening.
A 3'x5' area is sufficient for my workstation, plus space for guests to wait in line. To aid in maintaining an organized waiting area, setup near a wall or corner is ideal.
