Certified, professional and fully insured. Current Working With Children Check. Over 20 years working with children.
Birthday Parties and Small Private Events
from $320*
Minimum booking 1.5 hours - suitable for 10 - 12 guests for 1 artist
Every private party booking gets the same level of care, the same quality products and the same calm, professional approach. I arrive prepared, set up in the space you've allocated, and focus entirely on giving each child a genuinely lovely experience.
Pricing is based on your event duration, guest numbers and location. The easiest way to get an accurate figure is to complete the inquiry form. It takes just a few minutes and gives me everything I need to send you a personalised quote.
Corporate Events, Community Celebrations and Festivals
from $380*
Minimum booking 2 hours - suitable for up to 30 guests for 1 artist
For larger events I work from a curated menu of designs that keeps things moving without compromising the quality of each individual face. Guests still get to choose, still get my full attention, and still walk away with something they're proud to photograph.
If your event is large or requires more than one artist, get in touch and I'll put together a quote that fits what you're planning.
Charities and Not-For-Profit Events
Supporting charitable events and community causes is something I genuinely enjoy and I'm always happy to be part of them.
I charge my standard rates for charity bookings, and one option that works really well for many organisations is finding a local business sponsor to cover the entertainment costs as part of their community giving. It's a great fit all round. Your guests get a memorable experience, your sponsor earns genuine community goodwill, and your event budget stays where it needs to be.
If you'd like to talk through what that might look like for your event, I'd love to help you make it work.
School Fairs, Fetes, and Community Events
School Fairs, Fetes, and Community Events
School fairs and community fetes are always a highlight in the calendar.
While my standard rates apply for these events, a practical option that works well for many committees is a pay-per-face arrangement, where a committee member or volunteer collects a fee from guests who wish to participate in face painting. Depending on what you charge, this can recover some or all of the cost over the course of the event.
For larger events, I can bring additional artists with me. More hands means shorter queues and every guest gets a great experience.
Complete my booking inquiry form with your event details and I'll come back to you with a recommendation that suits what you're planning.
I believe face painting is about more than just creating a beautiful design. It’s about the connection, the joy, and the moment I share with each person in the chair. I always take the time to ensure that each experience is positive, personalised, and safe.
I adapt my approach to suit the person in front of me, always aiming to create something they’ll love, while maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and professionalism. Because for me, it’s not just about the end result or the number of faces I paint. It’s about making every brushstroke part of a magical memory.
FAQs
What areas of Melbourne do you service?
What areas of Melbourne do you service?
I'm based in Ringwood and travel throughout Melbourne's eastern suburbs and beyond for private parties, corporate events and community celebrations. This covers a wide area including suburbs across Maroondah, Knox, Whitehorse, Manningham, Boroondara and the Yarra Ranges. For areas outside Melbourne's east, get in touch and I'll let you know if I can make it work.
How much do you charge?
How much do you charge?
Every event is different, and my pricing reflects that. The size of your event, the number of guests, the duration and your location all play a part in what I quote. Rather than give you a number that may not reflect your specific situation, the easiest thing to do is complete my booking enquiry form. It takes just a few minutes and gives me everything I need to send you an accurate, personalised quote.
What do you need me to supply?
What do you need me to supply?
Honestly, not much. I arrive with everything I need to paint. What helps me most is a space with good natural light, enough room for my setup and a small gathering of excited children around the chair. For larger events, a little extra space for a queue works well, ideally away from food tables, exits and busy thoroughfares. That's it. Everything else is taken care of.
How long does it take to paint each child?
How long does it take to paint each child?
The honest answer is that it depends entirely on the child in the chair. Some children arrive knowing exactly what they want, settle in quickly and are done in three minutes. Others are being painted for the first time, are still deciding between two designs, or simply need a little more time to feel comfortable with someone new in their personal space. That settling-in time is something I never rush.
On average, designs take anywhere from 3 to 8 minutes depending on their complexity and the individual child. As a comfortable guide, I paint around eight to ten children per hour, though this varies depending on the nature of the event and the age group involved.
Can you accommodate children with sensory sensitivities or anxiety?
Can you accommodate children with sensory sensitivities or anxiety?
Yes, and this is something I take seriously. Face painting requires physical closeness between artist and client, and I'm very aware that for some children, and some adults, that proximity can feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable. Every person in my chair is different, and my job is to make sure they feel at ease before anything else happens.
If you know in advance that your child has sensory sensitivities or anxiety around new experiences, please let me know when you book. I can walk them through the process before we begin, offer the mirror so they can watch each step as it happens, and build in short rests between stages if needed. I'll never pressure anyone into the chair, and I'll never rush someone who needs more time.
For anyone not comfortable with face painting, arm or hand painting is always an option.
Choice and consent sit at the heart of everything I do. Every child gets to choose their design, their colours, whether they'd like glitter, and where the design is placed. For children who communicate non-verbally, I follow their lead carefully and only ever proceed when I'm confident they're comfortable and willing.
No child leaves my chair without having felt heard.
