“Not only was (Artful Addiction) a hit with endless queues of children, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Kind, passionate and extremely giving. You will be so lucky to have such a talented artist.”
— Hinerongonui Kingi, Sir Howard Morrison Centre, Rotorua

“Artful Addiction was an ABSOLUTE hit and did not stop creating beautiful face art for three hours straight. Kids were lining up the whole time to have their faces painted and she was absolutely fantastic with all of them. She is so lovely and relaxed and was very easy to communicate with. Will definitely be booking her services again in the future.”
— Keeley Grantham, Te Arawa Lakes Trust, Rotorua
