Hi! I'm Àine! I'm a professional artist, illustrator, entertainer, momma bear to one and a bit of a self-confessed colour buff;
Specialising in face paint, I love to collaborate with the kids to make their wildest dreams come true! I love creating everything from delicate blossoms with tumbling petals with heaps of glitter (naturally!) to comic-book style scowling zombies with all the drama!

I have been Face-painting professionally for 4 years, with 9 years experience in face and body art. I have worked both private and corporate events and have been so lucky to have been able take part in RTÈs The Late Late Show with a group of incredible artists and work big-name festivals and events across the country.
In 2011, I studied fine art in my local college in Kilkenny and I also have had the incredible opportunity to train with the prestigious animation studio, Cartoon Saloon, in 2017 where I received invaluable tuition.
In 2018, I attended a body painting course with Dublin Body paint where I learned expert body painting techniques and how to paint ALOT in very little time!
Combining this with more than 10 years experience in retail and customer service, I have incorporated everything I know to create a service that I strive to improve regularly.
My goal with Fantasy Face Art is to bring to you creative entertainment that puts a focus on building self esteem through imagination and play for ages 3 to 103 and beyond!

As facepainting is a close-contact job, I feel it is important to let you know that I have always had a strong focus on hygiene. In more recent times I have implemented more steps in sanitation between jobs and each facepaint to ensure everybody in attendance is safe and feels comfortable.
