Kids' Face Painter

Mary Ann Changg, aka Sparkles A. Clown has done hair and makeup for TV (Off the Map, LOST), film (Battleship) and theater (The Lion King), and she’s also talented at face painting. Just a few months after she started painting in 2006, Changg won first place in a face-painting competition at the annual Clowns of America International Convention. Since then, Changg, as Sparkles A. Clown, has spent her weekends at baby birthday parties and other events. “I always have adults in my lines,” laughs Changg. “They have no shame.” Butterflies are the most popular designs with little girls, she says, while boys prefer Spiderman, Batman and tribal art. Regardless of which design you choose, it’s guaranteed to sparkle. “I picked the name Sparkles because I love glitter,” she says. 955-2188, sparklesaclown.com.
