I feel incredibly fortunate to have won numerous awards and prizes in the UK and internationally. My passion for face and body painting has taken me around the world, running workshops and sharing my knowledge with fellow artists. Occasionally, I am invited to judge competitions both in the UK and abroad, which is always a rewarding experience. I truly love teaching and meeting new people, which is why I enjoy traveling to events and conventions so much. These trips often spark exciting new projects, and, most importantly, allow me to make friends all over the world!
Throughout my career, I have been honoured with numerous national and international awards, including several online contests. Many of my works have been published in professional art magazines, and over 30 videos featuring my art have appeared on BBC social media. My work has also been featured on TV, in newspapers, and on radio, bringing my passion for face and body painting to audiences around the world.
