Owner and Artist: Valerie

My name is Valerie owner and lead artist of Starstruck Station. I speak Spanish and English fluently, and am learning Italian. I have always been a creative individual and dabbled in different artistic outlets but never thought of myself as an artist until I discovered the joy of face painting.

I started face painting professionally since 2017 for high volume events. My family derives of entrepreneurs and creativity so it was no surprise when decided to launch my business in 2023. I went to the School of Makeup Effects to achieve my beauty and SFX journeyman certification in 2024 to add on to my knowledge in the overall body artistic realm from professional makeup application, special effects application, body paints and more.

I love to travel and going to entertainer conventions and workshops to continue to expand my craft as well as connect with other artists in the community.

I have taught fashion and design along with film making courses for the program RWC (Real World Connections) on the NJIT campus as well as a University in the country of Colombia (in Spanish) varying over the span of years from 2012-2017.

My favorite part of working with a client is when they look in the mirror and see their beauty being shined through with my artwork on them! That for me is what makes everything worth while.
