This month (May 2013) saw the annual Australian Body Art Carnivale take place in Eumundi, Sunshine Coast, Queensland. The 2013 theme is the “Best of Oz” which gave rise to some amazing interpretations for the body painting artists. This great Emu design by Anke Catesby won the title Winner of the Brush & Sponge category.

“As long as I can remember I’ve had an interest and passion for art. After school I studied at Art College from there I followed a career in fashion, living and working in the Philippines for three years. When I returned to the UK, I married and had a family. As my children were growing up I began face painting. I worked in a local school and face painted during holidays and weekends; whenever I could I attended conventions. I have been a face painter for 20 years. What followed was a natural progression to body painting, creating unique works of art involving the beauty of the human form; I have been a body artist for the past 5 years.”

“Every one of my body painting projects, reflect my passion for detail and my love of art. Using the human form as a canvas, I love to create elaborate designs incorporating colour, life and movement; for me it’s pure joy. Always using the body as part of the design itself; as opposed to just using the body as canvas for an illustration. I continually strive to take my body art to the next level, thinking the designs through so I can create a unique piece of breathing art.”

“My goal is to continue to create fantastic images on as many bodies as I have time to paint. I hope my art will inspire and set a mood, to innovate and excite and that people will walk away from my art feeling they just saw and experienced something magical.” – Jules Bentley 2013
