About Face Painting by Karen

I'm an artist and this quality shows in my face painting. Creating custom designs to fit your event theme is my specialty. 16 years of experience is what makes my painting fast and fabulous. To make your party even more fantastic I offer balloon twisting fun! Ask me about children's portraits on canvas, they make great keepsakes. Check out my website. facepaintingbykaren.com I have the most awesome job! When I go to work it's always a party! The kids have a blast, they get so excited. Adults join the fun too. I have painted many many adults, and it is so much fun watching them be a kid again.

Karen was amazing. She was great at communicating before the event, talkative and interactive with the kids and her work was raved about. Thank you Karen for making our company event one of the best.

Karen was phenomenal!! We had a very large work event (400+ kids and their families) and she not only had BEAUTIFUL art, but was very efficient with her time! I have never seen more kids walk away with smiles on their face. I will forsure hire her again next year. Thank you so much!
