In college, Vonetta Berry, did face painting to earn extra money. After earning a degree in illustration and animation at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago she moved back to Houston, Texas. She was pregnant with her first child and could not find a job, so she fell back on face painting. Today, her college side gig has transformed into a full-time occupation. Now, she not only paints faces; she also transforms people’s bodies with paint.

Kim Rutherford has always loved being creative and is a self-avowed craftaholic. She was flipping chalk painted furniture and wanted her pieces to stand out, so she used her Silhouette machine to make a custom stencil to use on a furniture piece.
