Meet the Artist – Arty Sparkles by Helen ✨

Hi, I’m Helen, the face behind the brushes at Arty Sparkles Face & Body Painting!

For the past 8 wonderful years, I’ve had the pleasure of turning my love for art, colour, and creativity into something truly special.

Face and body painting isn’t just a business to me – it’s my passion, my happy place, and something I put my whole heart into. ❤️

There’s nothing quite like the moment someone looks in the mirror and sees their transformation for the first time. Whether it’s a little one becoming their favourite superhero, a beautiful butterfly, a sparkling princess, or someone embracing a bold and creative body art design, those smiles and reactions are what make my job so rewarding.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of being part of so many special memories, from birthday parties and family celebrations to festivals, community events, and themed occasions. Every face is a new canvas, every design is an opportunity to create something magical, and every event brings its own wonderful memories.

I’m always looking for ways to improve my skills, try new techniques, and push my creativity further. I take so much pride in my work, paying attention to the little details and making sure everyone who sits in my chair feels special.

Eight years on, I still get just as excited picking up my brushes as I did when I first started. My passion has only grown stronger, and I feel incredibly lucky to do something that brings so much happiness to others.

To everyone who has supported me, booked me, recommended me, or simply sat in my chair over the years – thank you! You’ve all played a part in my journey, and I’m so grateful.

For me, it’s never been just about painting faces. It’s about creating smiles, building confidence, making memories, and adding a little sparkle to someone’s day.

With love, colour, and a sprinkle of sparkle,

Helen ✨

Exceeded Expectations!

I decided to indulge in a glitter bar for my 40th! It was definitely the show stopper! I went with the glitter and gem package and it all went down and absolute treat! Helen's attention to detail on the colour choices, when sparkling everyone up was second to none and made everyone (including the guys) look FAB! Thanks Helen x

Fantastic All around

Fantastic service and communication from start to finish. Very professional and friendly. I booked this service for a 7th birthday party. All the kids were blown away by the artistry of face painting. Couldn't fault Arty Sparkles at all, and will definitely use again. Thank you for making our party extra special.

Amazing service can’t fault at all

After being let down 24 hours before our work event I stressfully came across addtoevent and what a saviour they were. Amazing service in the first place very easy and quickly finding me a number of suppliers. All was very straightforward to use and upon choosing a supplier the great service continued. Helen at Arty Sparkles was just fab. We spoke straight away to finalise arrangements and on the day at the event my company absolutely loved her. She was so friendly yet professional and her work was amazing. She really did add sparkle to the event. I’ve also heard colleagues say they will use her for private events. I highly recommend addtoevent as well as definitely recommending Helen/Arty Sparkles all done 24 hrs before the event!
