Hey there! My name is Antoinette, and  I am the owner and lead artist at Meraki Face & Body Art.  I have been an artist for as long as I can remember and regularly show my work on canvas at galleries and shows.  I discovered face painting by accident back in 2013 and it's opened a whole new world for me.  

​

"Meraki is a modern Greek word that is often used to describe what happens when you leave a piece of yourself (your soul, creativity, or love) in your work. When you love doing something, anything, so much that you put something of yourself into."

​

 That is what I do. I paint and put my love and soul into my work. I get to laugh with little kids, as they are transformed into tigers and let their imagination take flight. I have had the joy of creating superheroes, princesses, and scary zombies. Parents, families, friends, all become engaged in the process, watching how adding a dusting of glitter, or a few precise paint strokes, bring the design to a whole new and surprising level. 

​

My company is highly favored with both corporate events and private parties in the tri-state area.  I am insured and my equipment is kept to high hygienic standards. I only use FDA compliant face paint and cosmetic grade glitter.
