I have been professionally face painting for over 15 years. I began face painting in 1995, when I spent a summer painting at ValleyFair. (Shakopee, MN) This was the first year that face painting was offered at Valleyfair, headed up by Richmond Illustration.

To the left is a photo of me working at Knott's Camp Snoopy in the Mall of America (Bloomington, MN). (Now known as Nickelodeon Universe) I worked here for 2 and a half years during high school and college with Maund Entertainment.

During these past 16+ years, I have done work for 6 different entertainment companies, besides on my own. I combine the best methods from my years of experience to give you the best quality work!

These are photos of me painting at the Dakota County Fair (Farmington, MN). I started painting at the fair in high school, and it is where my business "Paintertainment" really began! I've attended the Dakota County Fair every year since I was a baby and am proud and honored to be the only face painter at the fair ever since.

Come on by in 2011 and visit me at the fair Aug 8-14, my 14th year! I will be in my usual spot, in building 22 (Exhibit Hall South), just south of the red building.
