For 14 years, this talented local face painter has been bringing smiles to kids and families across our community, while balancing life as a Mum of three. Self-employment has given Lara from Extremely Face Painting Brisbane the flexibility to work around family life, while doing something creative, rewarding and community-focused.
Queensland Small Business Month is a great reminder of the incredible local people who bring creativity, energy and community spirit to our suburbs every day.
What makes Lara’s business special is the personal touch she brings to every event, especially local sports days and soccer events where she loves connecting with young players and helping families celebrate special moments.
Her advice to others starting out in small business is simple but powerful: hold your nerve through the quiet periods and give it your all when opportunities come along.
Queensland small businesses are built on hard work, creativity and resilience, and our local community is stronger because of people like this.
