Drawing and Painting have been a passion of mine ever since I can remember.  Childhood Christmases were filled with paper, paints, pencils and felt tip pens.  I couldn't have been happier.  I continued my interest through Art GCSE, Art A'Level and furthered my art education with a Media/Arts degree. 

After spending 6 years doing website design and development as a profession, I had my little girl Ella, that changed my life completely.  It was when she was two, that I realised I didn't have to go into an office to earn money, or do a job I really didn't like. In August 2006, I bought a small Face Painting kit and completed my first carnival event. I was so busy I couldn't believe it. The remarks I had from each child and parent were staggering and it was at that point I decided take up Face Painting professionally.

Since then my Face Painting and Body Art business has gone from strength to strength and I couldn't be happier. I'm finally doing something I love and making a career out of it. I only wish I had done it sooner! I am now also a member of the World Body Painting Association.

If you would like me to paint for you - be it a Face Painting at a child's birthday party or Body Painting at a promotional event for your company, please do not hesitate to get in touch - I'd be more than happy to help.

Best Wishes,       Nicola Shilson
