About Me
My name is Carolyn and I am the owner of Rainbows & Wildflowers Creations.
After years of face painting on a volunteer basis and with party companies, I decided to take the leap and build my own business in 2023.
I love adding color to events and bringing smiles to the faces of kids and grown-ups alike! See my FAQ's below to learn a little more about Rainbows & Wildflowers Creations.
Frequently Asked Questions
I only use approved, water-based paints from trusted companies such as Fusion, Diamond FX, Kraze FX, and Superstar. These paints are proven to be skin safe, are easily washed off with soap and water, and have minimal chance of causing a reaction. If you are concerned that the paint may cause a reaction, I am happy to do a test swatch!
Most importantly, I NEVER use acrylic paints. While these may be advertised as non-toxic, they are not skin safe and can cause chemical burns and other damaging reactions.
Unfortunately, I am limited in the number of events I can do for free each year, due to the cost of supplies and demands on my time. However, if you are hosting a fundraising event I am happy to work with you on an hourly rate that works for your organization, or offer pay-per-face and contribute a portion of the proceeds to the cause.
When I am painting, every brush or sponge is dipped in paint once, and discarded or washed immediately after it touches the client's skin. No double dipping here!
Brushes are washed in a three pot system (soap and water, water rinse, and rubbing alcohol sanitization) on the job, and are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between each event/party. I keep hand sanitizer within easy reach so that I may use it often. I am also happy to wear a mask if the client requests it.
While I love to make children of all ages smile, unfortunately I cannot paint children under 3 years of age. This is because my insurance does not cover children under 3, and children's skin is particularly sensitive before this age. It is also difficult for very young children to sit still enough to paint and understand what is happening, which is a less than ideal situation for both the painter and the child.
Bookings can be requested using the form here or via email. Kindly note that bookings are not finalized until it is confirmed by the client and myself, Carolyn Greenwood.

I kindly request a 4-8 ft table or area where I can paint, and chairs/a bench if possible. If these things cannot be provided, please let me know and I will arrange to bring my own.
