AND THE WORLD BODY
PAINTING FESTIVAL
I have been going to the World
Bodypainting Festival since 2008.
It’s now become a whole different
branch in my international family tree.
It’s a Utopia of beautiful scenery,
crazy beautiful art, crazy beautiful
people and crazy beautiful fun! It’s
addictive and I know I speak for most
of the people who attend in saying that we look forward to it all year
round. I’m lucky enough to be sponsored by the amazing make up company Mehron for the last two years
which has made the whole experience of competing on an international level an even bigger buzz for me.
WBF is rewarding and exciting and
allows you to mingle, be inspired and
influenced by, party with and learn
from, more and more wonderful artists
every year. My advice to anyone that
wants to attend is go for the whole
week, take a few classes and really
get involved in as many festivities as
possible. And if you really want to feel
liberated, volunteer to be body painted..It’s an experience of a lifetime.
