Taylor is a Cranston RI face painter, balloon twister, and caricature artist available for kids parties, corporate events, country club programming, school and camp programming, and more!
Although her passion has always been art, after high school Taylor pursued a career with animals as a vet tech, graduating from Mass Bay Community College and moving into emergency nursing with a focus on exotic pets (such as guinea pigs, ferrets, and other small household pets). She moved to Rhode Island at the beginning of 2026 and has been living in Cranston ever since!
In spring of 2025, Taylor began working at Kaleidoscope around her vet tech schedule as a way to continue with art professionally, on top of her work as a commission illustrator and crafter. On the side, Taylor creates custom art for online sales and craft shows, specializing in human and animal portraits.
Q&A with Taylor, Cranston RI Face Painter & Balloon Twister
How did you get into art?
I have been an artist since I could hold a pencil–it truly is my passion. I wish i could do it full time.
What’s your favorite art form here?
I love all of the art forms i do for Kaleidoscope for different reasons. I love balloons and watching the kids light up watching the process of them coming together, i love the confidence boost i get to give when i face paint and getting to do know so many different people and their stories during caricatures is something in will always treasure
What’s people’s reaction when you tell them what your job is?
I LOVE telling people I’m a veterinary nurse by day and a clown by night. The reactions never cease to make me laugh.
What’s one thing people would be surprised to know about your work here?
People are always surprised at the size and variety of our menus
What’s the hardest part about this job for you?
The hardest part is definitely not always being able to give the children I’m working with everything they want in a specific timespan. If more kids come to an event than expected, or if it’s a huge event with limited menus, we have to really stick to a specific selection in order to accommodate everyone.
What’s your favorite part about working with kids?
I love working with kids because they will tell me how it is! So I know when i get their smiles and approval its 100% genuine and it make my heart happy 🙂
