Artsy Fartsy Faces

I am a fully licensed cosmoetologist and had been a full time hair stylist and nail technician. This is my base that also allows me to offer compelte hair and nail services. It is also a base for my creative side, which has led me to face painting. During my years of cosmetology, I successfully went from a simple stylist, to booth renting independently, to a salon owner. I owned two different salons in the Brandon/Lithia area, but found something lacking. I moved on to teaching cosmetology at local academies which I found most rewarding. The interaction with students and customers was truly enjoyable. Although I love doing hair and nails and interacting with all types of people, my creative side was becoming more and more vocal.

I found face/body painting quite by accident; and, as I progressed I found true enjoyment in the skill. I enjoy the actual painting aspect, the transforming someone into something else; or adorning them with a intricate picture. I also enjoy the pleasure it brings to my customers. To see there eyes light up when they look in the mirror gives me a feeling I cannot adequately describe in words.

As for my personal side, I live with my husband, Jeff, (a wedding minister in the area) and our menagerie of animals. We are currentlky owned by a rescued Pomeranian (Jake), a rescued greyhound (Dexter) and three cats - Alley, Bart and Tabitha. We love to take cruises and also enjoy shopping and flea markets.

Thank you, again, for taking the time to read this; and, I hope we can do business one day.
