About the Artist:
I am born in Luxembourg in 1983, where I still live and work with children.
I started painting since I was able to hold a pencil! Painting has always been and still is my passion. it even became worse over the years: I am now addicted, obsessed... i would love to paint every day, every moment! I first got in touch with face painting in 1997, when someone asked me to paint children at a festivity, voluntary for a good cause. I was attracted immediately and ordered my first face painting kit. Then I started painting my cousins, friends, family... just for fun. A family member had the idea to paint some children at a birthday-party. The parents of those were impressed and booked me for their kids’ parties. That’s when my business started... I created my first website together with my good friend Isabelle ( www.happyfaces.lu ) and the business started growing In 2009 I got also in touch with Special FX and Body painting. I started collaborating with several photographers and was happy to get nice pictures for my websites. Now I am looking forward to represent my country in competitions and bigger projects and maybe too bring once a trophee at home ;) I hope you enjoy my art! Feel free to contact me for any feedback or question!  |  ↑ This is my first ever body painting! ↑
I did it on 15 July 2009 during the World Bodypainting Festival (Academy days) at Yolanda Bartram's workshop "Bodypainting Brush/Sponge". My amazing model was Teri Wyble from Louisiana; I met her the day before and she became a very close friend to me since then.  ↑ Competition in Hoogstraten wth my model Cully Firmin where I made 5th place. Theme: Carribean Dreams.
