Welcome to the
CURIO CaBinet
Body Art
I have experience in Face Painting, Henna Art, and Tattoo Design.
Face Paint
Face Painting is not just for kids! While I offer my services for family friendly events such as birthday parties and fairs, face painting, or body painting, can also be a great addition to concerts, festivals, and other adult-centric events.
All my designs are my own, and range in complexity to fit any occasion! If you've got a themed party, I can offer designs to match, and I always take custom requests.
I offer affordable, all-inclusive hourly rates for events. Everyone (and their mother!) can get painted during the designated time for one flat cost.
Don't miss out!
Henna
I also create temporary body art by using Henna Paste. I only use authentic henna from reputable sources.
Mehndi, known in the western world as henna, is an art form originating in Ancient India. By crushing the henna plant, a natural paste is created that leaves a temporary stain, lasting from a few days to a few weeks. It has been traditionally used to stain hands and feet, and draw intricate designs on skin. While it has many meanings, it is culturally revered to be a sign of prosperity and is commonly used in weddings and other celebrations.
The practice of adorning the body with henna is deeply ingrained in the culture of Southeast Asia and has a rich history and is much deeper than just beautification, and it is crucial to recognize and appreciate the significance associated with the medium.
In my own henna art, I seek to offer my own interpertation of the medium while acknowledging the weight of this ancient tradition, providing credit where it is due, and encouraging others to expand their own knowledge on the practice. Below, I have provided a few links to information I found helpful, so perhaps you can use this as a starting point for your own research.
Tattoos
If you are looking for something more serious, I also design custom tattoos. I have designed all nine of my own, as well as countless more for friends and family. I am not a tattoo artist… at least not yet… but I can provide you with your ideal drawing in PNG form for you to bring to a studio of your choosing.
To book me for a party, event, custom design, or for any questions:
Music
I love singing just as much as I love painting. There truly is no feeling like being on stage. Most weekends, you can find me at an open mic night, jamming out with local musicians.
For the moment, I am mostly singing classic rock with cover bands. But in my free time, I am working on original songs and learning music production- so stay tuned!
I am always looking for creative collaborators, singing opportunities, and friends to jam with. If that's you, reach out!
Fine Art
I recently rekindled my love for painting, and rediscovered the powerful flow of focusing on the process over the product.
I am currently developing a unique style that draws from the surrealist movement with impressionistic and psychedelic influences. I'm not yet sure how to define it, but I have been having a ton of fun with it!
I've also been having fun creating tons of affordable mini paintings on 4x4 inch panels to allow my art to be more accessible.
This year, a major goal of mine was acheived when I did my first ever fair in North Conway, New Hampshire on October 4th (my birthday!) It was incredibly successful and a fantastic way to ring in the next chapter of my journey. I truly look forward to getting even more involved in local markets next season.
If you're an artist who makes similar or complimentary work, I would absolutely love to connect and chat about it!
