JAN CRAWFORD FACE ART
I’m Jan, and accidentally I have become Dunedin’s facepaint extraordinaire!
I can be booked for corporate events, fundraisers and kids parties.
I am very conscious about what I am applying to childrens faces . I use high quality FDA compliant cosmetic grade face paints and glitter. The paint is practically dry as I apply the last brushstroke so no nasty smudges and it should last all day.
Face painting has allowed me to combine my artistic passion with my love for children. That wonderful moment when the child first looks in the mirror, and realises they have been transformed into a fairy, princess, tiger or super hero just melts my heart. What better job could there be than to make children happy?
My background
As a fine artist art, colour and texture have been my life for the past 30 years. I have both painted and taught watercolour, mixed media with texture, and run children’s art programmes. I have also worked as a textile fibre artist creating art works with threads [most of which I dye myself] and beads. I create nuno felt which is fine merino wool fibres felted onto pure silk, again hand dyed by me.
At present I am working on floral head pieces and gem clusters to use with my face painting designs.
With my move from Queenstown to Dunedin came a change in direction, starting my business JAN CRAWFORD FACE ART. I fell in love with the face paint from the very first brush stroke. The quality and colours available within this range are superb.
The shimmer paint, glitters and jewels available mean my designs are limited only by my imagination.
