I got my start back in June 2025, when my nephew brought home a cheap face paint kit and asked me to make him a butterfly. I had no idea what I was doing at first, but something about it just clicked. Ever since then, I’ve been locked in and in love with face painting. We had gone to Chili's later that day and as we walked through the door a group of ladies complimented his face paint. I saw the way he lit up and at that moment I knew, I was going to be a face painter.
I wanted the logo to be a nod to the original butterfly that started it all, so I kept the color the same. I played around with the structure for a while before finally landing on a lowercase “d” to keep that wing-like effect. For the body I actually traced it straight from the original butterfly portrait, a small detail, that keeps me connected to where it all began.
My focus is to make kids happy and create meaningful connections in my community through art, creativity, and self-expression. Face painting can light up a child’s whole day and bring people together. I want every design to be a small moment of joy, confidence, and connection.
My goal is to keep growing as a face painter, saving up for the best-quality paints and tools, and connecting with other artists and families along the way. I want to build something that brings people together, spreads joy, and eventually give back to the community that helped me get started.
My first ever face painting "gig" was a block party so naturally, my community has always been a big part of my identity as a face painter. It feels incredible knowing I have such a large support group and people that will always cheer me on. Thank you to those OGs that have been there since day 1.
Shout out to the fam & the homies💯
