Avian is a Virginia native who has grown up with a love of art her entire life.  She is a painter, printmaker, and mixed media collage artist.  After stumbling upon face painting through volunteering for a church Fall Festival, over 18 years ago, she quickly grew to love this vehicle of creative expression and tried to soak up as much knowledge as she could about it.  She truly takes pride in having the honor of bestowing one-of-kind masterpieces on every little bright, beautiful face she gets the pleasure of putting a smile on.
