Terra Fender, aged 28, will put the color back in your cheeks. An accomplished artist she creates elaborate face and body paintings utilizing vivid colors and striking designs. Unlike traditional artists confined to canvas, face and body painting is an evolving art form that is transcending its origins and growing in global popularity. Specializing in full face designs where the entire face becomes the canvas, she is most noted for her carnival style work and has been painting people professionally since 2001. When she isn’t putting the fine point on faces, she is a graphic arts student at SCAD and plans to graduate with her Masters of the Fine Arts in 2012. Fender, mother of one 8 year old daughter, and a 16 year old step daughter, lives in Marion, NC with her husband of 9 years.
