‘I had a great time and learnt so much from you all. I came home and practiced on my children – giving them all sorts of bloody cuts and turning them in to skeletonised zombie-things! I have felt quite inspired by learning from you and have enjoyed practicing on myself and the kids. ‘
-Hayley Parsons-

‘Thank you very much for your brilliant face painting for the main characters in The Jungle Book.
Your artistry enhanced the characters' personalities and helped the actors to achieve even more during their performances. It added to the visual storytelling in a big way. Thank you for your calm organisation and advice to students back stage and for your professionalism throughout the process. The students are so fortunate to see and experience a professional like yourself in action. We will definitely use your services again.’

‘I had a fantastic time at the workshop on Saturday. It was so lovely to meet other facepainters and get some new inspiration-a big thank you! The only negative- I couldn't believe how quickly the time went! =)’
-Nicole Ferguson-

‘Good day and thank you so much! I learned so much for class with you. I look forward to applying this knowledge and enjoying facepainting even more which I didn't think could happen. Thank you for your words, teaching, encouragement and patience especially with silly fans like me. Thank you again – ‘
