Meet the artist
Hi, I’m Meredith
“I believe my unique designs unlock a child’s imagination and bring instant joy to special events.”
I’m a former high school English teacher, ACT tutor, and now full-time face painter. I live in Homewood with my husband and two daughters, and I love bringing joy and imagination to parties all over Birmingham.
As a choosy mom myself, I only use professional, cosmetic-grade face paints made for skin, from reputable companies that provide full ingredient lists, so you can rest easy and watch the magic unfold.
