Hello Colorful Soul...

I’ve always been an artist at heart—but my official journey started when I was 16, working at a theme park doing face painting, hair wraps, and temporary tattoos. Even back then, I was training others, painting in the heat, and wondering why no one had created a sweat-resistant brush-on body paint yet. I didn’t know it at the time, but that question planted a seed.

 

After high school, I began apprenticing as a tattoo artist and later earned my cosmetology license from Aveda in Chapel Hill. I’ve been fortunate to work events that range from Fashion Week in New York to face painting for NASCAR’s Jeff Gordon and supporting The M2 Foundation for Kids with Carolina Panthers’ Muhsin Muhammad II. Every experience added a layer to my craft and deepened my love for using art as a way to connect and uplift.

 

I’m a competitive soul. I’ve won awards in body art and multimedia, including top placements in the North American Body Painting Championships, Greensboro’s Living Art Competition, and even first place in a blacklight installation with Ren Allen. In 2018, I led a team to a first-place win at the St. Louis Face and Body Art Convention. And if I look familiar, you might’ve seen me on Season 3 of Skin Wars—yes, that was me... not knowing fully what I had gotten myself into but going full throttle with passion.

 

But the moment everything changed was after the show, during a transitional point in my life. I had just gone through a divorce, was a bit depressed and found myself asking, “What’s next?” One night I dreamed I owned a body paint company—one that finally filled the gap I had questioned as a teenager....When I woke up, it hit me: The reason it doesn’t exist yet is because I’m meant to create it!

 

That’s how Body Color Cosmetics was born.

 

I started from scratch—no big investors, just grit, research, and the generosity of supporters who believed in my vision. I launched a GoFundMe, saved what I could, and poured myself into learning everything about cosmetic formulation and safe, bold, water-resistant performance products.

 

Now, I create innovative, skin-safe body paints and tools for artists, performers, and creative souls around the world who, like me, want to stay vibrant under pressure and wear the colors that speak their truth.

 

This brand is more than just makeup. It’s proof that you can build something powerful from passion, resilience, and a whole lot of color! <3
