I love face painting--I was getting made up to look like a cat at festivals, parties, & parks until…read moreI was nearly 30. And I always notice face & body art on others. So I was pleased to see a new face painter at this year's Danish Club of Houston - Vikingeskolen Danish Carnival celebration, & downright excited that my 3 1/2 year old son wanted to get his face painted for the first time, especially when I saw the results on the other kids' faces. My son asked Erika to paint a train on his face. This was obviously a new request for her. But Erika was easygoing about it--she simply hesitated, considering my little son's request while studying the canvas of his face. She let my son choose what color he wanted his train to be (blue) & immediately set to work. And though my son is very shy, he was perfectly comfortable letting Erika hover over him while she worked on him, her long hair hanging in a curtain around his upturned face. Both my son & I were floored by the results of Erika's impromptu train. It was *adorable* (See the attached pics). Better still was the more conventional face art--the absolute best I've ever seen. Many of the girls received abstract designs depicting flowers or butterflies. There were colorful & whimsical Mardi Gras-esque masks adorned with curlicues, tigers, cats, & best of all, face art meant to complete whatever costume the child was wearing--one little pirate sported an adorably cartoonish eye patch & a red spotted do-rag--Ar! And though her designs were very detailed, Erika worked reasonably quickly, so none of the kids got too antsy while waiting in line. She's truly impressive. But I'm not the only one who thinks Erika is the absolute best--she also paints faces at Yelp-Houston's official events. So if you've received face or body art at a Yelp event, you've met Erika & have seen her work already. If you haven't, check out Rawr Party's other glowing Yelp reviews, & see their Yelp business pics & those on their "blog". Rawr Party! employs just 2 face painters besides Erika--Erika's sister & long-time best friend, but if you'd like to hire Erika specifically, just ask. The company's advertised rate is $100 for the first hour, $50 for each additional hour, for a minimum of 1 hour; & you need not book the full hour, after the first. My impression is that Erika is willing to be flexible with respect to pricing. Regardless, because of Erika's easygoing; relaxed; & flexible nature, her exceptional people-skills, & her incomparable face & body art, you can't afford not to hire her for your special event.

Erika is amazing!…read more Whether you're needing a face/body painter for a corporate, church, family event ... kid-party, adult extravaganza ... she'll deliver. I got in contact with her via a twitter followed by a few Yelp PMs (private messages/message exchanges). She worked within my budget, created awesome designs to fit my event's theme (NOLA/Mardi Gras) and pleased the crowd. I WILL hire her again. And rec her to anyone. P.S. Thank you for painting a unicorn pooping a rainbow on my arm. #Winning

Our kids decided to do the paint your pet event less than a week after our family dog crossed the rainbow bridge. It was a great way to honor and remember him! I messaged the location about our decision and to prepare them for our possible emotions. I received a personal reply back and they assured me that they were ready to help support us and make it a memorable experience. It ended up being just our family for the event and instead of just cancelling, Mrs. Elizabeth gave our kids a private painting session and was so supportive and kept asking to hear stories about our fur kid! We had a wonderful time and the kids have already hung the portraits up in their rooms! Thanks again Mrs. Elizabeth for your kindness and patience with us. You have made a repeat customer out of us and will be seeing you again soon!!

When we arrived it was a bit hidden, honestly difficult to find the entrance door. Once we entered we didn't see anyone and hear anything so we kept on walking and found the restrooms then the area where they have class. We were greeted and picked a seat near the front. We were painting two separate painting that came together In the end. The class started a bit late but the instructor wasn't that great. She did walk us through what we needed to do- previous classes ive had the instructors would fix your painting if they needed to. The teacher sometimes did not tell us the next step for ex- she was painting in the front but didn't tell us what to do exactly. Overall- we got a cute painting out of it but I think instructors make the class better.

There is also a camaraderie that develops with the other students in the class. Although none is painting the same thing, we all learn from each other by listening to the directives given by Sheri. Her studio is spacious, and coffee and snacks are available. This is not a "one-lesson go home with a painting" place. You turn out a professional, beautifully detailed painting that may take you 4 weeks to complete, but it shows the work and talent which went into creating it. It is a relaxing 3 1/2 hours a week (you can certainly take more than one class a week, she offers 3) in which you create something of beauty and enjoy other people's company. I HIGHLY recommend taking classes from Sheri.
