Our Face Painting Team

Owner: Karla Corbett
I was born and brought up in Halifax and left to travel at the age of twenty. I lived in Alberta and BC for thirteen years and during that time visited China, traveled through Thailand and trekked in Nepal. I am a self taught artist and have progressed artistically over the years by practicing in many different medias from watercolor painting,hanging fish wall art, bark frames to graphic design. I discovered the joy of painting wall murals in 2001 and started a business creating beautiful painted rooms for children. I work full time for the Halifax school board assisting children with special needs. I am a dedicated mom to my seven year old daughter who was the inspiration behind my face painting. I painted faces at her third birthday party and she and her friends absolutely loved it!This inspired me to want to continue and put all my creative energy into the art of face and body painting . As a result my unique business has allowed me to continually evolve as a business owner and artist. What a great feeling to see a child's face light up when they look in the mirror and discover a magical face !
