Face and Body Art by DJ
Colour, magic and transformation
Bringing colour, magic, and transformation to your event, retreat, or festival.
Over a Decade of Transformational Art
Over a decade of art
With over 10 years of experience, I’ve had the joy of painting faces and bodies across Alberta and beyond, from kids’ birthday parties and community festivals to raves, women’s retreats, and sacred ceremonies.
Whether you're looking for playful designs for children, full-face transformations, or something more soulful and ceremonial, I bring a grounded, intuitive, and vibrant approach to every session.
Children’s Face Painting
Ideal for birthdays, festivals, and school events. Whimsical designs, animals, superheroes, and more.
Event & Body Painting
Elaborate full-face and body designs for fairs, performances, Halloween, and special celebrations.
UV & Fluorescent Art
High-vibe, glow-in-the-dark face painting for raves, late-night festivals, and cosmic parties.
Goddess Adornment Sessions
Intuitive, ceremonial face and body painting for retreats, rites of passage, photoshoots, and private bookings. A sacred experience.
Goddess Adornment Sessions
Part art, part magic
My unique offering, Goddess Adornment Sessions goes beyond face painting. This is an intuitive art ritual where I tune in to your essence and paint what wants to emerge. It’s part art, part magic, and completely unforgettable.

Safe, gentle paints
Your skin comes first
Your health and safety are my top priority. I use only high-quality, professional-grade face paints that are:
- FDA Compliant
- Non-Toxic & Water-Based
- Hypoallergenic
- Free from Parabens
These paints are gentle on sensitive skin, easy to wash off with soap and water, and vibrant enough to bring every design to life.
Whether it’s a playful design or an intuitive adornment session, you can trust that the materials I use are safe, comfortable, and event-ready.
