Zoe Thornbury-Philips

Zoë has been a professional face and body artist for nearly 14 years with a formidable background in art, illustration, photography and floristry.

Zoë has created stunning body painted hostesses and human statues for society parties and corporate events and regularly face paints, out of the ordinary, work at family events. Her credentials clearly demonstrate her industry stature and she has face painted for ITV and worked as a make up artist for theatre and film.

Zoë regularly paints at Fashion Shows and on performers at product launches such as Jaguar and BMW where Fantasy make up is a speciality. She captures the theme or style of the clothes and models and creates designs to compliment and amaze.

Creating a design to match your model & improve your colour choices

Zoë says:

"Good communication with your client is the most essential part of giving people what they want. Combining that, with looking carefully at their style can transform a face or body design into something with a much bigger impact. This makes for happier kids, parents and indeed clients and can apply to a 4-year-old or a professional dancer or model.

I have been invited to demonstrate and teach at the 2008 Face & Body art Convention and I cannot wait to pass on this technique to everyone that attends my class. Demonstrating is a very exciting challenge as my classes usually do not exceed 6. However, I hope I will still see students catching on to a new technique and find their way of using it. We all have our own style and developing that is how we can become better artists".

Also, look out for Zoë doing a live bodypaint in the foyer of the hotel on the Saturday afternoon.
