Yes you can book me for parties, wedding, events, photo shoots, portfolio shots..... I mainly work UK & HK.

I love painting myself (though I'm better on others) and usually dress as a fairy when working in public.

I demo/ teach inc. at several face & body festivals & events, write for & am published in a lot of the industry magazines.

Ex Coats of Arms artist; ex Natural History Museum (London) guide; ex Field Studies/ Zoo/ Safari park/ Wildlife Trust Education Officer...... so I know my bugs, plants and critters which is why I often paint them!

I use Flikr as a backup of my photo store so that's why I have a LOT of not great snaps on here. Check out my 'Best of' album for my fave body/ face art....

PLEASE ASK MY PERMISSION OR PAINT YOUR OWN VERSION OF MY DESIGNS if you want to use them. The face art community are good watch-dogs, beware if you 'borrow' my pics you will be spotted! But feel free to email me for advice, I'm glad to help new painters.

If you want to start face painting, GET PROPER FDA/ EU approved cosmetic face/ body paint. That does NOT mean non-toxic finger paints or acrylics - they still cause reactions, non-toxic jut means it won't kill you if you eat it.
www.fpi-org.co.uk/index.html has some good FAQ's as does www.snazaroo.us/ (and paint). For UK paint is good from www.facepaint-uk.com and www.facepaintingdesigns.co.uk/
