Tell us a little about your business.

I love meeting people, I love doodling and I love events — why not add paint?!  After painting at a party for a friend, my family and friends encouraged me to take the next steps to start a business. I would have never thought It would grow into what it is today. I am beyond blessed and thankful for all of my clients and friends who believe in me.

Why did you decide to bring your business to Guthrie?

I started face painting at Red Brick Nights in 2019 and loved it! From there, I have been invited to participate in some other local events and it has truly been a blast!

How long has your business been in operation?

I started my business in Stillwater, Oklahoma in 2016. A year later, I moved to Oklahoma City and had been nonstop ever since.
 
 
 
 
What makes your business stand out from other businesses that offer similar services or products?

I believe my customer service, style and knowledge of diverse individuals help in all that I do. I was adopted as a baby from Guatemala into a diverse family of 14 siblings (also from other countries); therefore, I have been around different cultures and siblings with physical and mental disabilities my whole life. When I have clients who may identify with a challenge, and the parents aren’t sure if they will sit for me, I always seem to make it work. Those clients are the special ones. I really try to make people feel welcomed and not like a stranger; and more importantly, not any different from anyone else. Customer service and being friendly is always key! 

How do you like to spend your days off?

 love to spend my time with my baby girl, Ariana, and my husband Chris. I work a lot so we really value family time.
