About Vanessa Wayne-Edwards

Vanessa is a passionate artist specializing in fine art, using body paints and acrylics to create expressive animal portraits and figurative works.

Through vibrant colours and innovative techniques, Vanessa’s work captures deep emotions and the beauty of the human form. Each piece tells a story that resonates with audiences, inviting them to explore the depths of imagination and expression.

 

Vanessa began her artistic journey as a wedding photographer before taking a theatrical makeup course, which introduced her to bodypainting. She quickly fell in love with the art form, leading to opportunities with well-known industry names. She has worked with prestigious brands like Dolce & Gabbana in Milan, bodypainting tribal tattoos using Temptu makeup. She also contributed to the BRIT Awards, collaborating with Emma Cammack for Cheryl Cole’s performance. Additionally, she has provided face painting for children at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

 

During the COVID lockdown, Vanessa shifted her focus from painting on the human body to creating acrylic art on canvas. She especially enjoys painting animals and people using bold colours in an abstract figurative style, bringing energy and expression to her work. Vanessa would love to paint your pets, capturing their unque personalities in a vibrant and expressive way.

​

Vanessa also offers bodypainting for individuals, transforming them into living works of art. This can include seamless camouflage into scenic backgrounds or wallpaper. The final result is then professionally photographed, creating a unique and personalized art piece for display.
