Amy's Background- A little about me !
I feel very blessed to work as a face painter, as much as I enjoy the art in itself, I love the look of delight on peoples faces when they first look in the mirror once I am finished. Priceless!
I have been in business selling professional quality face and body paints and providing a high quality face painting service for over 3 years now.
I strive to equip my fellow face painters with the best face and body art products imported from the best companies around the world.
I am able to provide hand picked, professional painters and balloon twisters for large events. We take great pride in our work and carry $20,000,000 public liability insurance for our clients peace of mind.
TRAINING
I am lucky enough to have received training from some of the best face and body painters in the world including
- Brian and Nick Wolfe (USA -2009 World Body Painting Champions),
- Jinny Make up artiste (Canada- Head Make Up artiste Cirque Du Soliel),

I now also teach my own face painting classes in my studio in Penrith.
