About Tanya...

I have been facepainting professionally since 2016, after a friend strongly recommended I used my artistic talents for face painting parties. For several years I had wanted to take a face painting course, and her comment spurred me on to take the leap.

After completing several courses, and investing in a kit, my face painting journey began... and I feel blessed to have found something which I love to do.

Since taking that first course, I have gone on to train individually and in small groups with some of the biggest names in the International face painting industry, from Nick Wolfe, Cameron Ashley, Prima Barton, Karen Huwen, Deb Mills and many more.  

I was a member of Olga Murasev's facepainting school and received direct training and support from Olga who has won numerous awards for her art. As a member, my personal trainer was Kristin Olsson who is the top facepaint Instructor from Norway and has appeared on FabaTV - which is one of the main training platform for facepainters.

To keep on top of improving my skills, I still regularly attend training courses and also the Face Painting Convention in the UK to learn from the best in the industry.

As well as birthday parties, corporate days, and charity events - I have had a lot of experience with festivals. including Larmer Tree Festival, Cloud Nine Glamping in Dorset, and Teddy Rocks. Other large events include the Bath & Western Show, Live@the Farm, the Women's World cup 2022 in Southampton prior to the match, Downton Cuckoo Fair, and events for Salisbury and Wiltshire council.  I am also regularly out at Finkley Down Farm, and have for the last few years painted at the Wilton House Easter Trail for Julia House.

During large events, it is important to paint to high standard quickly - and to be flexible to a child's imagination! I love being challenged and creating new designs at request.

I have also completed training in air brush tattoos, glitter tattoos, henna, hair braiding, balloon modelling and glitter designs, and also make my own bling which includes unicorn horns and festival gems.

Fully insured and DBS checked, and a member of the FACE (The International Face Painting Association) since 2016. Contact me today for a quote for your event.
