I have been entertaining my whole life. My mother has been a clown for over 30 years so you could guess how I learned to entertain. I have entertained everywhere you could think of, such as block parties to corporate events to parades. So you could say that my brother and I have been born into the business. Now I have branched out on my own to start my own business from the ground up. The only thing that is challenging is getting clientele word of mouth spreads slowly. But patience is a virtue. I am looking forward to the years to come.
I am Nicole, a face painter and balloon artist with Lisa's Face Painting and Balloons. As an artist, I have been painting on many canvases for over 30 years. I chose to try the new canvas of body art about 3 years ago. Lisa invited me to join her group of artists to bring joy, laughter and fun to the Chicagoland area. My favorite selection to paint is the "artist's choice" on my menu of designs. I love to surprise clients with an "off the cuff" design that makes them smile and allows me to create freely. It's a win-win! My balloon art is evolving. From the start, I have been twisting to try new shapes and designs. I am always adding new animals and flowers to the mix. From the simple animal to the gift bouquet, there is something for everyone! I have included some pictures of my work. Please enjoy! Hope to see you soon!
I grew up on stage performing magic with my family and surrounded by performers with so many amazing talents! Once I became a Mom and a childcare provider, it was easy for me to bring some magic of my own to kids parties and school events by doing balloon art and face painting. I'm honored to work with Lisa and her team doing something that I truly enjoy.
