I just found out I am going to be at Strathearn Art Walk this weekend!
Sat 12-7 and Sun 12-5
Tent 10 in the Beer Garden.
I’ve added pictures to give you a quick peek at some new art I’ve been working on.
Would love to see there, it’s looking like a beautiful weekend here in Edmonton.

So thankful for a great weekend and especially for my amazing husband, Larry Martens, who worked so hard loading, setting up, taking down, unloading, etc., etc. ❤️❤️❤️

Deidre and I, who used to face paint for you, are now painting canvasses instead of cute little faces. We have a website where we are selling our art and would love for you to come visit. Our website is www.validart.ca

We miss you!

It has been so long since we have communicated about face painting. Our world has changed so much. We want to let you know that Deidre and I have made a decision to shut down our business. This is, of course, because of Covid, but also due to health concerns and the high cost of starting up the business again. Deidre is working full time and Val working on helping people with their mental health. Both will continue to paint, but on canvases rather than faces. We look forward to what the future has to offer.

We have really enjoyed running this business. It has brought us great joy to bring smiles to the faces of both children and adults. We have enjoyed such great events, thanks to you! We appreciate your business so much and thank you for trusting us to make your event better. We wish you all the best going forward.

Our email and website will shut down in the next few weeks, but our page will stay up a bit longer.
Thanks from the bottom of our hearts, and all the best to you!

Val Martens
Deidre Martens
Larry Martens...who came along and helped at so many events.

Joyful Face Painting will not be face painting at this time. We feel the close proxiity of child and painter is not a safe enough distance to ensure not spreading any germs, despite PPE. Be creative and have fun with your celebrations while staying safely distant.
I have had requests come in recently and decided to share this message here. Sending love to you all!

A canvas doesn’t smile back like joyful little faces, but I did enjoy painting this butterfly. 💕

It seems strange to not do any face painting. So I painted a rainbow butterfly on canvas. 🌈 🦋
