Interview with Paige, Marblehead MA Balloon Twister and Face Painter
How did you get into art?
In middle school I got my first real piece of technology with unrestricted internet access– something I do not recommend, no kid should have that much power– and was greeted by an influx of all types of artists sharing their work with the world. Webcomics, games, little doodles, you name it, I was into it. I began teaching myself to draw with online resources and sheer willpower, endlessly inspired and wanting to create things of my own. I had always liked art, but it was then that I became serious about it. Fast forward to now, I’m an official illustrator with the degree to prove it! Art means so much to me, and I’m glad that I can use my skills to make people smile.
What’s your favorite art form here?
I love balloon twisting, sometimes I think I’m having more fun than the kids are!
What’s people’s reaction when you tell them what your job is?
People are usually impressed, after all, everyone loves having fun, even grown ups! I also get a lot of people saying that it fits me– I’ve always joked about being a clown, so I’m one step closer to that!
What’s your favorite part about working with kids?
Kids are so full of energy and immediately think you’re the coolest person ever when you walk in with balloons and face paint. I often have really fun and wacky conversations with kids, and leave with a renewed sense of love for the world.
What’s one surprising fact about you?
I feel that based on my appearance, people don’t expect me to be such a big horror fan! Monsters are my favorite thing to draw and create, and my absolute favorite book of all time is 1818’s ‘Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus’ by Mary Shelley. I’ve written several essays and presentations on that novel, and my whole college thesis was on how monsters are a parallel to being human. If you want to be my best friend, chat with me about monsters!
What’s one thing people would be surprised to know about your work here?
A lot of people are surprised that I prefer balloon twisting to face painting, given that I’m much more of an illustrative artist outside of this job. Don’t get me wrong, I love both forms of art, but I’ve always liked widening my skill set and working with my hands, and this is something so unique and so fun to learn.
