The Big Yellow Paint Box

...whilst on my travels overseas, I met a Kiwi from Gore on a cattle station in the north of Western Australia (yes, really)!  The rest, as they say, is history.

My name is Laura and I'm a bit of a colour magpie. I've had a lifelong love of animation and illustration (I wanted to be a Disney animator growing up and I love the work of Ollie Johnston, Frank Thomas and Glen Keane). Waaaay back, I even attended the Winchester School of Art and Design in the UK.

I began face painting in Australia as my two little girls always wanted to be painted by the face painting fairies around Perth and I knew I could have fun doing that!  Fast forward a couple of years and I'm happy to say that Gore and its surrounding communities have welcomed me and The Big Yellow Paint Box with open arms.
