Rachel Bradley

Face painting and body art are the trade for this Cairns-based act, built around work at sporting fixtures, corporate functions and family days. Rachel Bradley studied theatre production at the Victorian College of the Arts, a background that carried into a body art career whose client list has included the TAC, the Australian Grand Prix, the Melbourne Aquarium and BMW. Sporting crowds get flags, team colours and club emblems worked onto faces, while corporate bookings have covered live painting of a model as part of a product presentation. Away from the corporate work, family day bookings let children choose a character, from a butterfly through to a tiger, painted while they wait.
