At last I am doing the dream job of entertaining by painting and making parties more fun for both kids and adults. While I am primarily focused on the face or arm of my human canvas, I am privy to the expressions of the art participant and that gives me great delight.

It is important to me that the artwork that I do, though it is temporary ,brings a major smile to the faces of all those who see it. Otherwise, there is no point. I absolutely enjoy the process of speaking to each person about their life or the artwork in progress during my few minutes with them. I take particular pleasure in watching the faces of the children evolve over the years, when I get to paint on them event after event, year after year. Happily, I have been well received each time I have offered my services and so my business grows.

My paintings of animals have recently become a part of my ultimate life's work which is about social skill development for elementary school children. I have completed a pilot program at BJM elementary with second graders that involves co- creating, with the students, dialogue between my make believe characters. Someday my artwork will travel far and wide, fulfilling NYS learning standards and more. Meanwhile, I travel to parties and special events for kids of all ages....and practice, practice, practice what I am wanting to teach children about getting along with others.:)
