What it means to be a professional face paint artist on OUR team...
Clementine does not enjoy turning anyone down, or turning them away, but she is only one person. Clementine added one helper in the beginning to help with events, and soon grew and needed many more helping hands. Clementine loves to make children smile and can only be in one place at a time, so she began training others to do her designs and live by her high standards.
Every team member is required to attend many face paint practice sessions before heading out on to your event. Clementine trains all her artists and requires them to prove their reliability prior to even booking them a party. Many other "stand alone" face painters are self taught and take time to practice at your party or events, they are not as privileged to have the opportunity to have the guidance Clementine provides. Clementine loves each one of her artists and believes in the power of many. With many artists on our team, we can say yes to more parties, bringing more smiles to many more children in one day.

Clementine the Amazing (Owner and Lead Artist)
Clementine's Rainbow Dash face paint
Clementine was born in Alaska raised by a very creative mother, who always had some home made craft to keep her three children busy. Clementine grew up spending time with an Alaskan oil paint artist who took Clementine under her wing and showed her stroke by stroke how to paint amazing oil paintings at the age of 5! Her love for painting and art continued to grow through out her life. She designed band/show fliers while she attended junior high and high school. Clementine then attended an Art High School, while taking figure drawing and art history classes at the local junior college on the weekends and nights. After high school Clementine took many more art and child development classes at the junior college.
While working at a daycare, where she worked for 13 years, Clementine started to work on the weekends for a friends face painting business. And here she is now, proud mother of 3 children and an exceptional face paint artist. There is not much she will not try and not succeed. Her personal motto is "where there is a will, there is a way" Bringing that attitude to face painting she loves custom challenges when a client requests.
Clementine has been face painting for 5 years now. Her amazing work has won her first place in a west coast face and body painting contest. Her work can be seen all over the bay area, and everyone exclaims, "That is the BEST face painting I think I have ever seen! You truly are an AMAZING artist!" Clementine has painted for big company picnics and holiday parties for Agilent, Kaiser Permanente, River Rock Casino, Girl and The Fig, and many more, bike races, Sonoma County school's art walk fundraisers, Sonoma winery and hotel's employee appreciation days, holiday parades in San Fransisco, street fairs such as The Salono Stroll in Berkley, Rivertown Revival of Petaluma, Hand car Regatta of Santa Rosa, and has painted at Petaluma's Butter and Eggs for 7 years straight now, Clementine is the resident face paint artist at the Santa Rosa Pumpkin Patch on Stony Point Road as well as Marin County Mart Farmer's market resident face painter every Saturday year round, and she has wowed so many children and parents at hundreds of birthday parties all over the North Bay area.

Jessica
Tie Dye Specialist Jessica was born in Los Angeles she moved to Sonoma county when she was 8 it was definitely a culture shock. She grew up exploring colors because her mom is an artist, she's always been drawn to gradations, color movement, and transitions. A little over 10 years ago, it was a week before Christmas, and her and her partner needed to come up with a cheap gift for 30 or so people. They came across a tie dye kit at Walmart and went and grabbed a bunch of shirts, they were up until 4 a.m. on Christmas Eve tie dying for their family and friends. As a team they realize they really enjoyed making art on shirts and even enjoyed the process applying the dye and watching it wash out. They already were into crafting between felting, painting, and drawing they couldn't really afford all the art supplies, so they began selling tie dye. So was born Witch Craft Creations. Jessica is a teacher, she's been teaching preschool for about 15 years, her and her mother-in-law opened a Forest School in Sebastopol California 2 years ago and it's flourishing. She is incredibly excited to teach dying in the North Bay, combining two passions, teaching and art. What a dream come true. |
