Notice:
"You are a living work of art" is a phrase I most often tell my young and old art students. I believe that the human being and the human body were and are the first channels of artistic inspiration and first art canvasses to exist since human culture first began. I am a professional actress, performance artist, and improvisational comedian with a B.A. Theater Performance degree from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida, USA. Although my life as an artist began in the performance arena, artists are apt to change and evolve through an lifetime, I am now focusing on makeup, face painting, and most recently body painting in preparation for the World Body Painting Festive in 2008. My mother was a makeup artist and many a night was spent at age 14 being made up for one of her makeup tests the next day. I loved it as I discovered makeup made a fourteen year old magically transform into a 21 year old. Fantastical and surrealistic abstract face painting became my forte as I learned to create character mask-like faces for my many theater and performance art shows in Florida and Los Angeles. In 2001 I moved to Maui, Hawaii and started "Fabulous Faces" a fantasy and tribal face painting business here in the Hawaiian islands influenced by the Polynesian tradition of tattooing. The multicultural sources for body and face painting for a wide variety of spiritual and functional reasons only serve to prove that we are all living works of art waiting to be discovered by the right artist to see that painting inside of us and bring it out on top of the skin.
Fabulous Faces is available for all kinds of events ranging from birthday parties, festivals, corporate events, photo shoots, live performances, and teaching workshops. I look forward to working with and meeting the fabulous artists that will come together for the World Body Painting Festival. Aloha Nui Loa.
