My name is Patty.  I moved to Arizona from Chicago about three years ago with my husband of 18 years and my 10 year old son.  My 30 year old son is still resides in Chicago.

I love homeschooling my son.  I teach art classes to other homeschoolers as well as private art lessons. I am very involved in the Arts, my home school group here in Surprise, and my wonderful church.

I went to The Art Institute of Chicago on a Gold Key of Art scholarship after high school.  I continue this passion for the Art on a regular basis and always look for something new in the field.

Face Painting was presented to me by a dear friend, in the spring of 2009.  I love this new way of painting.  I enjoy seeing a person’s excitement when they look in the mirror after I complete a design.  They are always thrilled.  I am thankful for the opportunities available through face painting.

As a Christian woman with a growing family, I am blessed to be part of the

“A Face Painting Extravaganza” team.
