“This course and community changed everything for me”

Alisha charles face painter at work

“I work in early childhood education and started my own children’s entertainment business but was never confident in face painting, so I just offered games. The course and community changed everything for me. It’s all about happy faces and I just adore what I do.”

~ Alisha Charles
