Hi! from Florida!!!!

Hi everyone, my name is Gabi, and i'm from North Florida. I have been following this site for a few days, and today I joined. I wanted to be able to network with other artists! I'm not new to painting, but I am new to being on my own. Its exciting and scary all at the same time. Glad we have this outlet, cant wait to start exploring!

Dear gaberitta:
Welcome to the Forum!
You are not too far away from two amazing face painters, Linda Shrenk and Whitney Myers in Jacksonville. I would send them a polite letter of introduction and ask if they know of any local jams happening in the near future. There must be other painters who are also close to you. It is wonderful to meet my fellow painters and share techniques, try new colours, share face paint orders.
The Face Paint Forum shop is the colourful rectangle at the top of this column. Metina has competitive prices and the shipping is FAST. Also.. the Forum shop is what pays for this Forum!

Happy Painting!

Welcome to the forum!

Any questions just ask!!

Thank you ladies, I'll definitly check those artists out. I have actually seen some of Lindas listings. I am about 60 miles away, but if she could teach me a few things, especially how how to book gigs in my area that would be awesome. So far I'm only having luck in Gainesville which is about 40 miles, as far as I know I'm the only painter in Lake City. The ones I have seen were just teens volunteering. *Hoping to change that soon* lol

hi and welcome, gaberitta. the unicorn in your avatar is cute

Thank you! My daughter is a great model. Unfortunately she is already getting tired of being my practice dummy. lol

I couldnt figure out how to message Linda on here, but I did find her on facebook. It would be great to network with other artists around me, learn new techniques, etc.
