I'm a retired nurse practitioner who followed my heart into face painting, where creativity, joy, and connection come together. There's nothing more magical than watching a child's face light up when they see their transformation in the mirror. If they can imagine it, I can bring it to life with paint and glitter.
Mary’s Magical Fantastical Faces brings spark, color, and a little bit of mischief to every event. Founded by Mary—an artist, storyteller, and lifelong lover of all things whimsical—her face painting transforms ordinary moments into unforgettable memories with playful designs that delight kids and adults alike.
Mary blends professional artistry with a warm, friendly touch. Trained in safe, skin-friendly techniques and stocked with hypoallergenic, FDA-compliant paints, she creates everything from tiny, twinkling butterflies to full-face masterpieces inspired by dragons, unicorns, superheroes, and seasonal themes. Whether it’s a birthday party, school fair, corporate family day, or wedding, Mary’s approach is joyful, patient, and tailored to each guest’s personality.
Mary believes face painting is more than paint on skin—it’s a moment of wonder, a burst of confidence, and a shared smile. Mary’s Magical Fantastical Faces is committed to safety, creativity, and making every celebration brighter, one painted face at a time.

Just a few of the many faces I created at Carolina Gardens (Newport) this winter season 2025. It’s a beautiful place with lots of beautiful little people!
