Spreading Joy One Smile at a Time: The Story Behind Fab Faces Entertainment

For me, entertainment is a lifelong passion that started with princess parties and fairy tales. From a young age, I was dressing up and performing—bringing face painting, balloon twisting, and character parties to country clubs, corporate events, and various other venues throughout South Florida. What began as a childhood love quickly grew into a mission: to spread joy and create moments that will last a lifetime through art and entertainment.

When I moved to Clermont in 2012, I was already deeply immersed in this world. I began face painting at my church and local events—not just as a creative outlet, but as a meaningful way to support my family while working as a preschool teacher and raising two amazing children on my own.

On March 23, 2017, I officially launched Fab Faces Entertainment, turning my passion into a thriving, purpose-driven business. What started with just brushes and paint has blossomed into a full-service entertainment company serving Central Florida and beyond.

Fab Faces Entertainment now offers a vibrant lineup of services, including face painting, balloon twisting, airbrush art, caricatures, magic, and more. As a family-owned business, we are deeply rooted in community, creativity, and joy. Our talented team of artists are professionally trained, fully insured, and ready to bring the fun.

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with many local businesses, nonprofits, schools, and churches such as Boys & Girls Clubs, Chamber of Commerce, City of Clermont, City of Tavares, Libraries, and many others. Each event is a chance for us to create joyful, unforgettable memories.

At the heart of everything we do is a deep love for spreading happiness through art. Whether it’s a child’s birthday party, a school carnival, a corporate event, or a large community festival, we bring energy, color, and fun to every celebration.

Creating smiles never gets old—and with Fab Faces Entertainment, the best is yet to come!

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
During covid, the entertainment industry came to a near standstill, and like many small businesses, Fab Faces Entertainment felt the impact. Events were canceled, gatherings were limited, and opportunities to perform became few and far between. Even through those tough times, I held onto my passion and continued face painting whenever I could—at small gatherings, socially distanced events, or even just for friends and family. Toward the end of 2022, God put it on my heart to relaunch Fab Faces Entertainment—this time with a renewed purpose and an even bigger vision for the future.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
