"Through face painting programs, Chantal has also successfully targeted social issues like bullying. She believes, Painting on a piece of paper is one thing, but painting another human being, involving positive social contact where achievement is guaranteed, can be life-altering. These programs have inspired international communities, which have based their programs on these ideas. She has also created educational programs designed to tackle waste management, dog safety, numeracy and literacy in primary schools and has presented Technology shows to high schools throughout the Northern Territory."

International Face Painting Workshops
"Chantal from the Land down under was worth the trip alone. I just did 1 class with her. Chantal is not a 'Fairy'. She is an 'Angel'. I think every family performer, not just face painter, should sit in on her class to refresh, inspire, and establish a correct foundation for which we all need to have. Chantal reminded me that there are times and places where if we really are going to do the right thing by our lines of waiting kids, we need to make sure they ALL get painted, recognized and touched."
