About Me

I started my face painting journey when I was 18 years old working at the Wacky Work Shop at Drusillas Zoo. In my opinion it's the most fun place to work as a teenager!

From there I met Clare (who's a brilliant professional face painter) scouted me from Drusillas. She took me under her wing and showed me the ropes. I remember when we started painting at the London Aquarium. Travelling into London for the first time by myself as a 20 year old was the most dauting thing ever! But it didn't take me long to become a pro around the tubes.

Then after a couple of years I started thinking that I needed a "real" job.

So I set off to London and studied Make-up & Hair at CB*MA, a school that specialises make-up for Film & TV.

I worked for 6 years in the Film & TV industry as a Make-up & Hair Artist, travelling all over the country working on productions for the BBC, Channel 4, named but a few.

During my Make-up Artist journey I wanted to learn how to cut men's hair (as it's a good skill to have on set). So I approached a lovely little barbershop in Lewes owned by Chloe.

I trained under her for year whilst still working in film.

I ended up giving up my Film work when I had my first son, I just couldn't be away from him!

After maternity leave I went back to The Barber Shop Lewes and continued work there as a Barber, meeting and chatting to the most interesting people, becoming a part of our local community.

As my eldest son started school, the need for face painting came back. 

My husband convinced me to start my own Face Painting business, I agreed as along as he did all the paper work and I get to be the creative!

So here we are now!
