I was taught to draw caricatures when I was 16 from the best & got a job working at Legoland CA for just shy of 3 years when I moved to TN then to AZ! I've been drawing them on my own ever since and love it! From my same friends at Legoland I've learned to facepaint! I can do either at your party or event! If you'd like I can do both! A b/w head to shoulders caricature takes only 5 mins to do! Adding color is an additional 5 mins and adding a body and themed background is another 5 mins. A face painting takes anywhere from 5 mins to 20 mins depending on how big/detailed the design is. For other party ideas I can teach arts and crafts or how to paint a masterpiece for any age group!
Hired Shea for a company picnic and she was such a hit! Very friendly and she was such a wonderful artist drawing funny caricatures for anyone. I'd recommend booking her for your special gig!
Price Range: $80 an hour minimum of 1 hour

Caricaturing: I can draw caricatures for any size party given the appropriate amount of time! Each party is very different. I have worked a prom with about 1000 kids attending, 6-8 different caricature artists and we had 4 hours to get through them all! In this case I did black and white head and shoulders in about 5 mins per person. Another example: in a church Christmas party I drew 7 different bodies without the head (boy and girl elf, Rudolph, Mr and Mrs Claus and a snowman) then photo copied them. The kids loved it! I was still able to I can do those in about 5 mins per person because it was b/w but they had fun having the themed picture.
So like I said timing is about 5 mins per person for a b/w head and shoulders, adding a body and background usually takes about another 5-7 mins and adding color is again another 5 mins. So a big wedding I'd be able to do b/w head and shoulders but small birthday party is always more fun to do with themes and color! Just let me know how much time we've got and how many people to expect and we can talk about options!
I will come on time and prepared with all paper and utensils I need. I use a big clip board to draw on and can bring my own chairs and table but if you want the chairs and table to match your party then just provide your own.
Face Painting: Small face paintings such as a cheek mask or half face can be done in 5-15 mins. Full faces take anywhere from 10 mins to an hour. Face paintings have a much more board time frame because it all depends on what the painting is. For big parties like school fundraisers I can come prepared with example pictures of small simple paintings that kids can choose from that I can whip out in 5-7 mins per person. If its a smaller party like a birthday party I set a higher time limit like 10-15 mins per person a have more intricate details and designs. If you want me to come over before a costume or halloween party I don't mind spending an hour on each person's face to give an amazingly realistic mask of face paint.
I have a professional face painting kit that when dry does not smug and make a mess as easily as standard halloween face paint. It is water soluble and will clean off easily in the shower with a little soap (no scrubbing necessary). Just don't invite me to a pool party! I will come on time and prepared with all paint and brushes necessary along with a roll of paper towels (and a jug of water if there isn't any available at your location). I can also bring my table and chairs if you cant provide them. If it is more intricate work you would like done for halloween or something I can also bring my liquid latex for 3d face sculpting effect! (liquid latex IS latex though so make sure you aren't allergic before I lather it on your face!!!)
*I can do caricatures and face painting at the same party given enough time!
Classes: I can teach a class of arts and crafts for kids at a birthday or holiday party if you have a craft junky like I was as a kid. We can talk about what your child likes or what kind of craft you think would be best for them and the party. If they are preteen or older I can teach more complex subjects like painting or drawing. If you wanted to throw a cocktail/painting class for you and your family, friends, or coworkers to learn to paint a landscape masterpiece or more of an abstract to show off proudly in any room I can do that as well! Like I said in my bio, my favorite thing to do is teach others to love making art. Its just like learning math at school or learning to follow a recipe, everyone can learn to be good and learn to love it. You'd be surprised what you can do even if you consider yourself art illiterate!
I am a wife and mother living outside of Nashville. I grew up in southern California. I have been an artist since the moment I picked up my first crayon! I have studied all kinds of art from 3d, 2d, painting (acrylic, face/body, water color, and oil), drawing, sketching, photoshop, foundry (metal), ceramics, jewelry, sewing, crocheting, glass blowing and lamp/torch work. I have always liked producing my art hands on rather than computers and have found some types of art I am a lot better or like doing more at than others. I just figure you really have to broaden your horizons before you know what you want to do. I love sharing my talent by teaching or doing gigs. I love talking to people and making them laugh with my draws of them. I have draw caricatures for proms and face painted for school fundraisers as well as private parties. My favorite thing of all is teaching, I absolutely love seeing peoples' amazement by what they can do themselves with a little bit of guidance!
Caricaturing/ Face Painting: All I need is a dry, well lit corner that can fit a chair for me a small table for caricature or face painting supplies and one or to chairs for my subjects.
Classes: I need a room well lit and big enough for the people you want taught with tables and chairs for all of them (a cleared out garage perhaps?)
With face painting and caricature gigs I can provide everything I need, Classes however I will just provide the supplies I need to teach the class not the supplies needed for everyone, however I can tell you what to get and where to get it.
