Artist Bio

Calgary-based artist, Arnie  or "Arnz" Mabalay is on a mission of creating magic onto your beautiful faces

using safe, premium, and hypoallergenic colorful face paints.


Art has been ingrained in Arnie's veins even at a young age as her childhood days were filled with portraits and watercolors. This passion took a back seat for years, and in 2018 at a church event, Arnie found herself as an artist once again. As a face painter, she saw and experienced the joy brought by the happiness that lit up in everyone's faces as she transformed them into a work of art. 

MY WORK

Face Painting has come a long way over the years. Gone are the days when a simple flower was enough, now they are works of art! Designs are created using high-quality paints, techniques, and layers which bring pieces to life. It is about creating the wow factor. Most designs work to a 5 to 10-minute time. I am a detail-oriented individual who ensures that each design I create has a wow factor!

Arnz Face Painting did such an awesome job face painting at my work’s Kid’s Christmas Party. All the kids loved their face paint. The parents at the party couldn’t stop talking about the quality of face painting the kids were getting. I will for sure hire Arnie again for our next event.

Fabulous work Arnie did! She was so good with the kids and the art work was amazing. The detail to the painting was exceptional. Many designs to choose from! Very efficient too so the kids got extra painting on their arms after the faces. The other parents were all commenting on how good the face painting was! Thank you Arnie for such a great party! You made my girls day special!

Arnz came to do face painting for my daughter’s 6th birthday party. Every piece she did on each child was an incredible work of art! She has so much talent! The kids were over the moon with how amazing each of them looked. Arnz is worth every penny!
