Veronica has always had a passion for all things creative. Since she was very young she always had a passion for drawing, writing, painting, sculpture and eventually all things cosmetics, body art, hair and beauty. Veronica graduated from Berkeley College with a degree in Fashion Marketing in 2001. She worked as a makeup artist for Estee Lauder where she trained at their corporate office in NYC and then managed their makeup counter and provided makeup services for weddings, photo shoots and events for several years. She officially became a certified makeup artist in 2005 by one of the leading bridal makeup experts in the makeup industry, Ms. Irina Feygin of IMpeccable Image, Inc. Veronica managed retail chains for over 17 years until she started her family and decided to focus on incorporating her love for painting and body art, with her passion for makeup artistry-which is how Creative Faces By V was born! Creative Faces By V was started in 2015 with nothing more than a few palettes and a cardboard menu and a dream - to painting for the NJ Devils at the Prudential Center in 2019!  

Veronica has worked so incredibly hard to create an amazing experience for her clients no matter what the occasion. She has painted thousands of children, taught acrylic painting on canvas for the after school program at her local elementary school, participated in teaching for the local arts and crafts summer rec program, hosted a face painting course in the local library and has been hired for hundreds of events and parties over the years. She published her first fictional children's book about face painting in 2019 (Kate's First Face Paint-A Dat At The Fair), was published in several magazines for her accomplishments in makeup and face painting; including Brides New Jersey for pro makeup tips and Q Magazine for pro face painting. 

Veronica is constantly continuing education in order to keep her clients safe and knowledge current. In the past year that Covid forced entertainment businesses to be closed, Veronica used that time wisely and acquired six certifications including new updated infection control guidelines, art psychology coaching and more. This is in addition to her existing training and decades of experience. She also took that time to focus on building her social media online presence, while keeping her painting skills sharp, and has thousands of followers on both the Instagram and Tiktok platforms (@creativefaces_glamlocks), along with her Facebook page where there's countless 5 star reviews.
