About Me

I’m not just a face painter — creativity has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember.

My journey began in dance at the age of three, and by thirteen I was already teaching. I went on to study dance at college and spent many years performing in shows, including productions at The Cresset. Until the age of 30, I taught both children and adults a wide range of styles including ballroom, Latin ballroom, rock ’n’ roll, freestyle disco, street dance, and salsa. I also completed IDTA examinations and proudly taught salsa to adults alongside my mum — an experience I will always treasure.

In 2022, following the heartbreaking loss of my mum, my life took a new direction. Even during that time, I had already begun creating makeup videos on TikTok and taking a makeup diploma course, rediscovering creativity in a new form. During her end-of-life care, I dedicated a special butterfly-inspired makeup video to her — because she loved butterflies — and I was able to tell her about it and she watched it. That moment will always stay with me.

She later asked if I had received my results for my Diploma in Makeup. I told her not yet. She never got to find out the result, but in my heart I know she knew I would pass with a distinction — and I carry the pride I felt from her every single day.

My Dad later took me to The Prosthetics Event 2022, where I stepped into an entirely new world of artistry and possibility. It was there that I met the Tutors who would later guide me through University — a moment that truly changed the course of my career.

I made the brave decision to change paths and follow another lifelong passion: makeup. This transition was deeply personal and creatively fulfilling, allowing me to express emotion, storytelling, and confidence through art. In May 2026, I will complete my BA (Hons) Degree in Hair and Makeup for Production, marking the culmination of this transformative chapter.

I’m a mum to three wonderful children, one of whom has SEND, which has shaped my understanding, patience, and compassion both personally and professionally. Through my degree, I’ve discovered a true love for special effects makeup and transformative artistry, particularly within film and production.

What drives me is working with both adults and children, helping them feel confident, empowered, and proud of who they are. Whether it’s through face painting, makeup, or special effects, seeing someone light up and succeed is what fuels my passion every single day.

If you’re looking for someone who brings creativity, professionalism, and genuine care to every face and every project, I’d love to hear from you. Get in touch today to book, ask a question, or start creating something magical together.
