My Name Is Mrs. Nuria Vega Moffat
CEOI began to experiment with face painting in the early 80s. doing basic cheek art with limited supplies for family picnics and parties where I worked. It was just a pastime then, an outlet for my creative urges that needed a way out. In 1984 I moved to this country and started doing face painting for the private parties of friends and neighbors. I became more serious about this art after moving to Madison in 2003, when I discovered a face painting application on my first I-Pod, which lead me to a series of YouTube videos of well-known face painting artists. After watching many videos, a whole new concept of face painting materialized before my eyes and I knew I had to grow my hobby into a business. Little by little I started to paint for some non-profit groups that knew me and trusted me. I finally formalized my business in 2014 with the creation of an LLC that I called: MetamorFaces. I am largely self-taught, relying primarily on my creative instincts, books and instructional videos. I grew up in Costa Rica, where I earned a bachelors’ degree from the School of Mass Communication of the University of Costa Rica. I also did graduate work at the National University, in the field of translation and Interpretation. These two careers have served me well at my current job as a Bilingual Resource Specialist with the Madison Metropolitan School District. I have been doing this work for almost 20 years between Madison and Fairfax, VA. I find that my bilingual, bicultural background enables me to interact with a wide variety of clients and audiences. As the mother of a child with autism, I have also learned a lot about special needs kids and have had the opportunity to interact and paint the faces of many of these wonderful individuals. My clients to date, in a sense, reflect my background. They represent a broad cross-section of area non-profits, businesses, educational and religious institutions and families. I love being a professional fantasy makeup artist. I am fascinated with the diversity of people’s faces and personalities. I enjoy continually challenging myself to learn about new techniques and materials in order to strike a balance between speed and aesthetics. I invite you to contact me if you are interested in exploring how my unique brand of fantasy makeup can enliven your next special event, family gathering or business function.

I whole-heartedly recommend Nuria! Her radiant smile and generous heart can draw in even the shyest of souls. Her creativity with face painting and make-up design reflects her genuine joy in doing it. Nuria is bilingual o course, and has been continually active in supporting community ever since I’ve known her. She exudes warmth, kindness, savvy, humor and positive vibrations in all of her endeavors. She is also very organized. Nuria Moffat would be a true asset to your network. - July 2019

A Little Background Information
How I Started Face Painting / ¿Cómo Empezé a Pintar Caritas?
I began to experiment with face painting more than two decades ago in Virginia when my daughter was just a toddler. We went to a festival where I saw a non-professional face painter working and I thought: “I could do it better”. I became more serious about my craft after moving to Madison in 2003 and finally formalized my business on September 4th, 2014. I am largely self-taught, relying primarily on my creative instincts, books and YouTube videos.
Over the years, I have painted literally thousands of faces – mostly children, but a good number of young-at-heart adults. I enjoy continually challenging myself to learn about new techniques and materials in order to strike a balance between speed and aesthetics.
Although I grew up in Costa Rica, most of my adult life has been spent in the United States. I find that my bilingual, bicultural background enables me to interact with a wide variety of clients and audiences. My clients to date, in a sense, reflect my background. They represent a broad cross-section of area non-profits, businesses, educational and religious institutions and families.
Since I discovered fantasy makeup, it has been a satisfying pastime for me. My professional life has been as a translator/interpreter for the Madison Metropolitan School District. Recently, however, I have come to see this art as more than a hobby. In 2014 I took steps to form my own small business, which I named MetamorFaces LLC. One of my first marketing and networking decisions was to become an active member of the Latino Chamber of Commerce of Dane County.
I invite you to contact me if you are interested in exploring how my unique brand of fantasy makeup can enliven your next special event, family gathering or business function.
SPANISH TRANSLATION
Empecé a experimentar con maquillaje de fantasía hace más de dos décadas en Virginia cuando mi hija apenas gateaba. Asistimos a un festival donde observé a una maquillista no profesional trabando y pensé: “Yo podría hacerlo mejor”. Asumí una actitud más seria con este tipo de arte luego de mudarme a Madison en el 2003 y finalmente formalicé mi negocio el 4 de Setiembre del 2014. Soy mayormente autodidacta, apoyándome sobre todo en mis instintos creativos, libros y vídeos de You Tube.
En el transcurso de estos años he pintado literalmente miles de caras, en su mayoría infantiles, pero que incluyen también un buen número de adultos jóvenes de espíritu. Disfruto mucho retándome continuamente para aprender nuevas técnicas y manejo de materiales, con el fin de alcanzar a un equilibrio entre la rapidez (con frecuencia muy necesaria) y la estética.
Aunque crecí en Costa Rica, he vivido la mayor parte de mi vida adulta en los Estados Unidos. He descubierto que la cualidad de ser bilingüe y bicultural me permite interactuar fácilmente con una gran variedad de clientes y audiencias. Mis clientes, de alguna manera, reflejan pues mis antecedentes culturales. Ellos representan una amplia gama que incluye organizaciones sin fines de lucro, negocios, instituciones educativas y religiosas y familias.
Desde que descubrí el maquillaje de fantasía, este arte se ha convertido en un pasatiempo muy satisfactorio para mí. Mi vida profesional ha sido como traductora e intérprete para el Distrito Escolar Metropolitano de Madison y otras organizaciones como traductora independiente. Sin embargo, recientemente, veo esta labor artística como algo más que un pasatiempo. En el año 2014 decidí convertirlo en un pequeño negocio bajo el nombre de MetamorFaces LLC. Una de mis primeras decisiones de mercadeo y ampliación de mis redes de comunicación fue convertirme en miembro de la Cámara de Comercio Latina del Condado de Dane.
Los invito a ponerse en contacto conmigo si están interesados en explorar cómo mi estilo particular de hacer maquillaje de fantasía puede animar y destacar su próximo evento, reunión familiar o actividad de negocios.
