The Zoo Lady has been bringing professional theatrical face painting to the children and adults of central Illinois since 2002.
Besides being one of the most "artistic" face painters in the field, Mickey Lower, known as the ZOO LADY, has the ability to speed paint more than 35 mask faces in an hour, including jewels and glitter. With her staff of trained Zoo Crew painters, any event, including large school and corporate numbers can be easily handled.
HomepageCorporate sponsors, school carnival coordinators, and special event leaders marvel at her ability to "keep the line moving", without sacrificing the artistic touch or the child having his/her "special" time in the chair with the ZOO LADY.
Continuing education, as a formal public school teacher herself, is important for the ZOO LADY. Each year this includes attending the USA Face Painting Convention.

Hire the Zoo Lady / Crew for your event and not only get great face painting, but free advertising for your event. Averaging over 500 faces a week, with even more in the summer/fall, the Zoo Lady's facebook page can bring more people to your event.
Henna Tattoos
Henna: The application of henna paste to the skin in order to make a design for cultural, religious, or special occasion adoration is called MENDHI. Commonly used in wedding ceremonies in Middle Eastern countries, the popularity is growing in United States as a way to express yourself through design, on a temporary basis.
The skin is cleansed with lemon juice, to remove the natural oils, and body lotions. The henna paste is a mixture of the dried henna plant, eucalyptus oil, and lemon juice, and is applied with a fine applicator bottle to the skin in many different choices of design. As the paste dries it stains the skin. When it falls off in a few hours, the design will be orange, which after 24 hours will turn into a beautiful sienna brown. The darkness of the stain is determined by the person's skin tone, as well as where the henna is applied. The palms and tops of the hand, and tops and bottom of the feet take the stain the darkest. The arms and legs are next, with the torso, taking the stain the least.
As the henna dries, the paste flakes off, and it is recommended that you do not get the design wet for 24 hours. After that, in order to protect the design, apply olive oil to the design before and after a shower, bath, or swim. Avoid chlorine if you can. The henna design will last between 1 and 2 weeks depending on the care you give it.
Henna parties are great fun for teens as well as for block parties. A flat fee is charged depending on the number attending the party. Contact Us to find out more!
Who Loves the Zoo Lady?
In the past 10 years, the Zoo Lady and her crew have brought the experience of face painting to corporate events, home shows, family and kids fests, churches and school programs, and community fairs and festivals.
Companies such as Busey, CEFCU, ISU credit union, Extreme Football and the Pantagraph have rewarded their clients, employees and their families with face painting.
Miller Park Zoo, Bloomington Park and Recreation, Normal Park and Recreation, Peoria Zoo, and Children's Discovery Museum, just to mention a few, have found the Zoo Crew to be a real draw to their events. Church and schools repeatedly secure our services for their carnivals and family fun events, and the quickly formed lines prove that the Zoo Lady and her crew have become welcome additions to any event.
For 2012, the Zoo Lady has partnered with Rader's Family Pumpkin Farm, Normal Illinois to provide face painting every weekend during their fall season.
New to Bloomington/Normal beginning the summer of 2010, and playing their games at the new stadium on the campus of Heartland College, is the Normal Cornbelters professional minor league baseball team. Partnering with the Cornbelters mascot Corny, the Zoo Lady can offer an additional face painter at your event, compliments of the Normal Cornbelters.

Celebrating someone's birthday, whether it be their 30th, 40th, 50th, or anytime, have a pirate lady come and toast them at their office! Pirate Queen Penelope brings with her a song (created just for the birthday guy or gal) and some costumes which the birthday guest gets to keep!
What fun!
The whole office crew gets into the fun, roasting and toasting the "guest of honor" in a 15-20 minute ceremony, ending in an official "pirate wench" or "scurvy pirate" certificate and a dvd of the entire celebration!
Call (309) 532-1642 or e-mail at callzoocrew@yahoo.com to let Pirate Queen Penelope be a part of your celebration.
Turning back time:
Are you tired of keynote speakers that make you stare at your watch? Need a special occasion speaker for that retirement dinner, corporate meeting, or banquet? Mickey becomes Miss Rosalee, a spirited widow from the 1800's, spinning her tale of love and life during that difficult time. Using "interesting" tidbits about employees supplied by the events promoters, Rosalee incorporates these into her monologue, making her conversation to the audience truly a personal one. Everyone has a great chuckle, whether it be on themselves or their co-worker by the end of the presentation. As she states, " I have buried four wonderful husbands, one at a time that is.." and who is going to be her 5th husband is always a surprise, especially as she shows her wedding gown, and comments, "Won't I make a beautiful bride for the 5th time?"

Need a special birthday gift? Why not buy a painted t-shirt for that special person? Corporate sponsors can have their logo added to the painted shirt, advertising their company as the model moves around. Always in good taste and watching the work in progress is as much fun as seeing the finished work.

Mickey Lower, the Zoo Lady, is one of Royal Caribbean's preferred face painters, and has painted on 6 cruises in the last several years, enjoying the ports of Puerto Rico, St. Marten, St. Thomas, Ocho Rios, Haiti, Jamaica, Bahamas, and of course their private island Coco Cay.

How do i get the paint off my child's face?
The ease of paint removal is one of the reasons I choose SNAZAROO paints for my work. Usually warm water on a soft cloth will take off most of the paint, and for darker colors, a high quality wet wipe will finish the job.
If I hire you for an hour birthday party, how many children's faces can you paint?
I can paint over 30 of the elaborate full faces with glitter in one hour. For events where you expect over 100, I can paint even more using a less elaborate, but still beautiful face. If you hire the ZOO crew, that number per hour can go up to 60 per hour.
