Hello! My name Kathleen Francis, I’m an international award-winning face painter from Kalispell with 18 years of experience making “Fancy Faces” in the community and beyond. I use professional grade, hypoallergenic paints to make everything from a child’s birthday party to a sprawling business event a memorable occasion for all!
History
Established in 2004.
I’ve always loved art. After getting my face painted at Disneyland, and loving it, I bought the paint they recommended, and started painting my kids and their friends. It wasn’t until I participated in a personal growth seminar that I took the leap of faith and started my business. I am self-taught. My business began to grow by word of mouth and sheer determination to accomplish a personal goal. It’s as much about connecting with people as it is about the art I create. It brings me the most joy to make people feel beautiful and special. I’ve painted for many plays over the years. I have even done belly painting for pregnancy Photo shoots, and Body Painting for professional photographers. A fun fact, I grew into my business name. I used to watch Days of our Lives with my grandma, and Bo used to call Hope “fancy face.” I named my business from her nickname. It’s funny now, often my clients exclaim, “Oh, it’s so fancy, I love my fancy face!” I’d say my business name was meant to be.
