Spotlight on Artist: Mandi Ilene

Mandi Ilene is the head of the Central Florida Face and Body Painting Guild. She has been painting on everything since her childhood. She's been face painting face since 2006, then in 2009 added full bodies. Growing up in a beauty salon naturally led her down the path of becoming a makeup artist/nail technician. After being bored of doing bridal makeup, (dramatic but natural, ugh) she began branching out to face paint for princess makeover parties. She hasn't looked back and is now doing face and body art full time while attending school to be a (art/science) teacher. She has won international awards for her face and body art. She has shown her artwork in galleries around Central Florida and even makes trips to the Bahamas to paint. Her goal is to have more work hung in art galleries in 2013.
