As a Professional Face Painter, my goal is to assist in making your event a positive, memorable experience for the planner and guests. I also can be quite FAST ~~~ if there is a line waiting (which there usually is because they say, "it's worth the wait"!). Let me know if you would prefer the very simple, QUICK designs and we will roll them on through the line as speedy and efficiently as possible. I can limit the number of choices which helps with that. I offer face painting for all ages - kids * children * teens * adults * seniors!

Your hired professional will travel within the greater Puget Sound region and vicinity with a 2-hour face painting minimum for distances beyond my hometown radius. Travel charges may apply for long distances. I've recently added CARICATURES and PORTRAIT ARTISTRY to my specialties profile. ~~This is for work done at studio with your image(s), NOT the "quick draws" at events at this time. ~~ They'd make fun profile images for your social media accounts!

My rate is variable and billing can be done in 1/2 hour increments if extra time is requested and if it is doable. I can paint full faces, cheeks, arms or combination. I have a huge selection of colors and use FDA-approved paints. I love working with both children and adults. A typical design takes 3 to 5 minutes per person. In average, I can probably paint about 12-15 an hour. This is, of course, subject to intricacy of designs chosen. I remember painting 60 children in just over two hours. If you do the math and think about the time it takes for each child to get settled, etc. you will realize that it may look something like a sped-up video getting that many kids done so quickly. 🥳 Returned checks are subject to service fees, and cash payment is required upon my arrival at event if deposit check for reservation has problems clearing the bank. A non-refundable deposit may be required for first-time clients hiring me; this will hold your spot. I can send a proposal or confirmation if you'd like to hire me. I can accept deposit through a check in the mail or through PayPal. Balance is due on the date of service, cash or check upon my arrival. I can supply an invoice or receipt for final payment.

Her designs were original and beautiful. The kids loved her. She gave them lovely gifts (flower mirrors for girls, balls for boys) at the end too which the kids enjoyed. would thoroughly recommend her. Angel - I would recommend for any group! Very talented and able to even match any pattern, picture or colors requested by the paintees!! Jane -Fantastic to Funny Faces Karen painted faces at our library opening until everyone who wanted a kitty face, a princess face, a football etc. was satisfied. The art work was exceptional. She did at least 100 faces, probably more and stayed way past the time we thought we needed her. It was an exciting day and Karen made a great contribution to the fun. Each child was given a mirror so they could admire their face. Cristina - My kids, as well as, all the children at the party enjoyed getting their faces painted. She is very friendly and it's clear she enjoys working with children. Great service and she know that she will be here for my next party!

Carol - A magical evening for young and old alike! Our annual block watch party was a huge success, partly due to the face painting done by illustriddler. She was very personable and friendly with everyone in attendence. While people were waiting in line, there were books of face painting ideas to look through. She took her time with all of the kids and adults, giving them a professional looking painting on their face, arms or hands. She even took special requests. Everyone left extremely happy and most people came back for more! She was a big hit with everyone on our block and we will definetly ask her back next year. Anonymous - Ideal for any size group!
