As a professional face and body painter, Amy Jones is adept at helping other people achieve a degree of metamorphosis. But she is also something of a shapeshifter in her own right. “Adaptability is key in my work – I can be working at a children’s party in the morning, and doing UV face painting in a nightclub in the evening, or go from painting glittery eyes or henna on hands at a wedding to a football match, all in the same week,” she says.
Jones has used that same versatility to be a true chameleon throughout her career, having formerly worked as a florist, beauty and sports therapist, makeup artist and costume supplier. Today, Jones, 57, combines face and body painting with being a balloon modeller and henna artist – among other skills.
