Lavinia S - New York Face Painters

A little over a year ago, Lavinia was an admissions counselor at the College of Staten Island. She found her work to be incredibly rewarding because she was helping students navigate the college application process. Due to budgetary constraints within the department, she was laid off. However, hope springs eternal and during this transition process she found a new passion: face and body painting as well as balloon twisting. A close friend saw that she had creative talent and gifted her with a small face paint kit. A month later she entered a face painting competition at Clownfest and won 2nd place (Sep 2011).

She has fallen in love with the art form since then and truly enjoys what she does- from cute butterflies and flowers to sugar skulls and monsters.
