“We like creating
custom images and are particularly fond of the illusory quality of body
painting, not so much the decorative side as the odd or surreal side. The skills
needed to execute these different qualities include dexterity, patience, speed
and a particular visualising capacity - Carolyn has these skills in spades plus
a sense of humour and a good nature, so vital in withstanding the pressures of
the business and working with demanding clients....not me I hasten to add".
