Spotlight Artist: Lori Jessup

Lori Jessup 

She has been painting since 2000 under the tutelage of the Wolfe Brothers and other amazing teachers at Enjoy Your Face Inc. Bodypainting became a passion when she assisted Jay Bautista for a year. Her photographed works of Bodypaint have hung in art galleries around Central Florida, including the Orlando Museum of Art. Also a costume designer, her strengths lie in her attention to detail and realism. But fair warning, she has been dubbed the Glitter Queen.

September 2012 Jam: Fundraiser for Brian Wolfe at SIP

We had our September Jam at SIP to raise funds for Brian Wolfe, a trendsetter in the face and body painting community who recently has been afflicted with pancreatic cancer. To read more about Brian's story please visit here http://www.gofundme.com/tg9l0

So many artists, models, photographers and friends came out to support Brian. He has been a inspiration to everyone of us in some way.

The pictures speak for themselves and we raised over $500 for Brian and his family!
