About me
ELISSA BARRETT
ARTIST
I am an International Award Winning Body Painting Artist who has crossed all genres.
I fell in love with face painting 10 years ago, whilst working at a local holiday park, I soon discovered where my passion lays and began to explore body art and creative face painting.
I have won various competitions, and achieved many of my goals as an artist, being recognised for my talent and artistry.
I have been fortunate to have been recognised and awarded both nationally and internationally collecting silver at the World Body paint Festival representing the UK in Austria in July 2015, in the Amateur Open category.
“ I have always been an artist and designer and enjoy creating bespoke art work through all mediums. My aim has always been to create something unique. From children’s faces through to body paints and Unique Make-up and Styling. I also focus a lot of my attention towards murals and interior design. I like creating illusions and designs that make people have to take a second look, Recently turning my hand towards Airbrushing. I aspire to be challenged to create designs personal to my clients. My inspiration can come from absolutely anywhere. My main aim is to share my work for others to enjoy” I hope to continue using the knowledge and experience I have gained in this field to inspire my creativity in the Creative World.
