“Face Painting professionalism at its best! We have used Smiley Orca Face Painters for 5 years and running, at two events annually. They are quick to respond to our request to book events, send the required paper work and are ready to go right on time for each event. As for their face painting art work, they are the best from San Francisco to Monterey. Their attention to detail and unique face paintings are just amazing. They surly have made each one of our events one to be remembered. Make sure to reserve early, as they are very busy!

”Smiley Orca is a true reflection of what excellent guest service should be like. Lisa and her team always deliver quality on their work, friendly interaction with every customer and a sincere desire to make memories for the many families who they serve, specially the children. Lisa is truly dedicated to her work; I have never seen anyone who loves his or her job as much as Lisa does; I imagine it is the way the children's faces brigten up after seeing the artwork Lisa and her team deliver.
Lisa is an excellent trainer; she dedicates time and sets expectations for all her Staff. Lisa manages her team with excellent leadership, role modeling the behavior and work ethic expected from each employee. The quality of her work is simply amazing and she expects no less from her team.
Lisa is a talented artist and through her work, it is clear that the success of her company is due to her dedication and love for what she does. From a simple flower on the chick to a complicated full-face design, Lisa always makes it look easy.
I appreciate the opportunity to work with Lisa; she is a role model and I am thankful for every time she reminds me that having a positive attitude is the best way to deal with difficult situations. I enjoy seeing her doing her job; through her artwork, she transforms kids into little heroes, princesses and cute little "things" that hope to never have to wash their face again! Every time I see a kid smile after she paints his or her face, is a priceless moment.
I could not compliment Lisa enough!"

"Lisa is not only one of the friendly faces of Smiley Orca who greets each and everyone of her customers with smile, but she is also a great manager and instructor. Under her direction, I went from a complete novice to a skilled face painter in two summers. She was a pleasure to work for, and her satisfied, repeat customers have nothing but praise for her."

"I have worked with Lisa and her staff at the Living Canvass Conventions. As the official photographer I was able to attend all the classes offered and get a feel for what attendees were looking for and why they preferred one teacher over another. Rarely do you get a teacher that has the ability to excite others in their art the way Lisa does. She is able to teach on all levels from beginners to those with many years experience. No one walked out of her classes without learning something new and being excited about what they had learned. She is an amazing artist and one of the finest teachers the industry has to offer."
