Body Painting By Cat

After Art College, a BSc & a Biology PGCE, I taught in the London Natural History Museum, and then the Jurassic Coast.

I discovered face painting whilst in Zoo Education and started my part-time business in face & body art in 2001. I won many titles including UK Professional Face Painter of the Year, 5th in the World Face Awards, so went fulltime as an artist in 2006. Most recently I placed 14th in the World Body Paint Championships 2021 (highest UK entry).

I teach, demo and judge face, body and eco-cosmetic glitter art in colleges and at events worldwide and was one of the few artists painting 100 faces daily for years. I'm often booked at large corporate events such as Prides and major festivals, as well as for parties and clubs.

I also create props, accessories, stencils and artwork, as well as urban art on large 3D statues for city trails.

As a UK Cricut Ambassador I teach, demo and use those amazing machines in my personal and business life too. I'm Hobbycraft's 1st face Paint Artisan, and a Cricut Artisan with them as well.
