Florence Love Lee has been face painting professionally since 2013 as co-owner of Masks by Design Face Painting. Painting on a canvas that smiles back has brought tremendous joy to Florence as she has painted thousands of children, youths and adults over the years.
Florence experienced something profound over the years of painting faces- it not only brought smiles and delight, but face painting brought healing and joy to those she painted . The sensory artisty of this craft, the sensation of brush and paint on skin brought healing and comfort to those who were were her canvases. Those who observed faces being painted would share words of encouragement and beauty which boosted the whole atmosphere. Painting on skin provides unique healing through beautifying the person and elevates the experience of living in our bodies.
After a decade of painting faces, Florence is expanding her repertoire to body painting and exploring the healing expression of painting on skin. She is currently designing a body paint performance project that aims to heal racial divide through body painting. Florence thrives on collaborations and looks forward to meeting other artists.
