Meet Elizabeth: the heart behind Art by Manna
I am happy to meet you! I hope to be your premier face painter with services in Hickory and surrounding areas in North Carolina! Discover the passion, creativity, and joy that goes into every design. I am dedicated to transforming moments into magical memories for your events.

From a simple favor to a lifelong passion
My journey into face painting began unexpectedly, as a favor for my sister to face paint at my niece's birthday party. At that moment, I discovered a love for painting faces and witnessed the sheer delight in every child. That single event ignited a passion that Art By Manna now shares with the Hickory community and beyond.

Where happiness inspires every stroke
What makes Art By Manna truly unique is that every design comes from a place of happiness and boundless creativity. When I'm painting, time flies by as I get to bring diverse and imaginative creations to life. I hope my art evokes feelings of wonder and joy for everyone who sees it.
