Lesley Barkett of

Funtastic Faces Face Painting.

Hello! Welcome to the world of Funtastic Faces Face Painting. Available to paint faces in Asheville and a variety of locations in western North Carolina including Hendersonville, Canton, Waynesville, Franklin, and Hickory, as well as many other locations, I specialize in transformative full faces, glamorous crowns, wonderous masks, and unique cheek art. This special style of face painting is guaranteed to make your next special event amazing.

Whether you are planning children's entertainment in Asheville for your next birthday party or want corporate party ideas in Asheville for your company's next big event, Funtastic Faces Face Painting provides party ideas in Asheville and the surrounding areas, promising an engaging and memorable experience for people of all ages.

I stumbled across this unique style of face painting about two years ago when I was visiting a friend and face painter in Colorado. I thought to myself, "That looks like fun. I wonder if I could learn to do that."

Well...two years, lots of practice, and a few face painting classes from award winning face painter Leah Reddel later, and I now find myself with a busy face painting business operating out of Asheville, North Carolina.

I can't believe how lucky I am to be paid for making people smile. I love my job!

Check out my photo gallery and see what I am all about. I am willing to travel to events within a two hour radius of Asheville. Please make sure you book me early because many dates are filling up fast!
