Kim E - Texas Face Painters

Kim Estes is a lifelong artist who attended the University of North Texas and graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing and Painting. In college, she focused mainly on self portraits in oil as well as figure studies in charcoal and water color.

After a few frustrating years looking for a job in the arts, she was fortunate enough to land a job in 2008 painting custom pottery and teaching art classes for an established art studio in Southlake, Texas. Her dream of making art for a living finally realized; Kim would go on to spend the next 9 years working with kids and families to make memories through her art. She also married and had two special little boys during this time.

In the summer of 2017, while thinking of ways to make a little extra money, an epiphany suddenly struck Kim out of the blue. What about face painting? Why not combine her talent and love of art with the joy of putting smiles on children's faces?

She decided to throw her whole self into learning everything she could about face painting, bought a small kit and got to work practicing. In the next few months she would book her first parties, start her own business and invest as much of herself as she could in the process. Now a full fledged professional face painter, she loves nothing more than to make each child feel special at each event she attends. With a decade of experience working with children, she brings the fun, whimsy and childlike wonder to any event! Birthday parties, community events, quinceanera, weddings, festivals, fairs, and any gathering you can imagine is always better with face painting!
