Meet the artist!

Hey there! Ever wondered how someone stumbles into the world of face painting? Let me take you on a colorful journey.

My name is Yocelin, but you can call me Yossi. My journey with face painting began in 2011 when I worked as a children’s entertainer assistant, where I greeted guests, organized games, and dabbled in balloon twisting and face painting. That first stroke of color on someone else's face ignited a passion within me. Balancing it all with my middle school schedule, I soon ventured into my own business as a party entertainer.

By late 2016, amidst Venezuela's socio-political crisis, I found myself seeking refuge in The Dominican Republic and later Miami, FL. It was there that I honed my skills and realized that face painting wasn't just a gig—it was my calling.

Fast forward to 2018, I moved to Nashville TN, dreaming of launching my face painting business there. But as luck would have it, COVID-19 crashed the party. Like many, I had to hit pause on my passion for a while.

Then, in late 2021, I found myself once again relocating, this time to Seattle, WA. Amidst the chaos of unpacking boxes in my new home, I stumbled upon my face-painting gear, and a flood of emotions hit me. It was time to reignite that fire.

May 2022 marked the birth of Yossi Face Art. Since then, I've been splashing color and spreading joy across Seattle, one face at a time. Ready to add a splash of color to your event? Let's connect!
