What I paint
Four ways to spread a little joy
Everything is painted by hand, one piece at a time — cute, chubby, friendly characters, never creepy, always with hand-painted detail (and usually a touch of glitter).
Face Painting
Birthday parties, church events, festivals, and school days. Butterflies, tigers, rainbows, and superheroes — every design is painted freehand with brushes only. No stencils, no sponges, ever. I come to you, and I only attend events where I'm hired to paint.

Murals
Cheerful walls for homes, businesses, churches, and schools — from a giant ice cream wall covered in sprinkles to a lighthouse on a restaurant pillar and a full laser-tag entryway.
Quoted per project — let's dream it up
Faith Art & Painted Rocks
Faith-based paintings are the heart of what I do. I also paint rocks to give away — little ripples of encouragement left out in the world for whoever finds them.
Originals & commissions — just ask
Gallery
Favorites from the paint table
Real pieces, photographed out in the wild and fresh off the paint table — the newest fall collection, Christmas favorites, party days, murals, portraits, and faith pieces.
Every photo here is one of my own pieces — painted by hand and signed @Jennifer.the.Painter, except the painted rocks, which are signed with Scripture alone. New photos land here as each collection comes off the paint table.

Love the characters but short on yard space? Prints, stickers, magnets, ornaments, and shirts are coming to my Etsy shop — meet the characters just below. The hand-painted pieces will always be the originals.
Prints & books
Meet the characters
Every character here started in my imagination — the candy corn family, the snow people, the fruit and flower faces, the patriotic crew, the little blue ghosts. They began as hand-painted yard art and painted rocks; now they're stepping off the paint table and into prints — and soon, into books.
Prints & merch
My character files are already print-ready at full resolution — the same clean artwork you see in the gallery. Prints, stickers, magnets, ornaments, and shirts featuring the candy corn crew, the snow people, and friends are headed to my Etsy shop.
Coming soon to EtsyChildren's books
The characters are getting stories of their own. I'm writing children's books with the candy corn family, the snow people, and the rest of the crew — sweet, funny stories carrying the same heart as my faith brand, It Was a Gift: every good and perfect gift is from above.
In the works
About Jennifer
Jesus, painting, and bringing joy — that's the whole business plan
I'm a mom of four in Shawboro, North Carolina, and painting is how I share joy and faith with my neighbors. My style is cute, chubby, old-fashioned, and friendly — the kind of art that makes kids wave from car windows. Every character comes straight from my imagination, too — look for the tiny crosses, stars, and hearts tucked into their big-lash eyes. That's my signature, and I developed it back in 2017, when all of this started with painted rocks.
When I'm not at the paint table, I'm out volunteering and serving in ministry, painting rocks to leave out in the world like little ripples, or singing.
Every piece is signed the same way:
@Jennifer.the.Painter
Every piece, that is, except my painted rocks — those carry no name at all, only Scripture. The rocks point to Him, not to me.

Good questions
Before you ask…
Weatherproof composite board — not plywood — so they won't rot outdoors. They're sturdy but surprisingly light, which is why I can ship them.
About one week per painting once I start it. I take a maximum of 4 orders a week, so holiday pieces — especially Christmas — are worth ordering early.
Yes — everything I make is custom! One price per size covers it all, from $200 for a 2 ft piece to $550 for a full 6 ft character (see the price guide above). Favorites include a scarecrow football player in team colors, a scarecrow doctor or nurse, a pumpkin teacher, and candy corn characters. Names and family touches welcome.
I don't set up as a vendor at fairs — but I'm glad to come paint faces at your event when I'm hired as the face painter. Send the booking form above and let's talk dates.
Kid-friendly face paints made for skin, applied with clean brushes only — no stencils and no sponges. Every design is painted freehand, from quick cheek art (butterflies, rainbows) to full-face tigers and pandas.
