Terrie “Gitsy” Basko, owner of GTC Entertainment & NJ Airbrush Tattoos, discovered her calling to clowning in 1994. With 4 small children and a wonderfully supportive husband she started on the road to laughter. Peachey Keene University was the first official clown convention that Terrie attended. She was encourage even more to continue discovering what God had in mind for her in this world of clo
wning after winning awards in both the group and single competitions. She attended many more clown and balloon conventions thru out the years building her skills, growing and teaching. Thru hospital clowning, Terrie soon discovered another character of Gitsy the Rainbow Lady. This character became overwhelmingly popular with many of her children’s shows, nursing homes and hospitals, and is now her main character. In 1998 Terrie was also on staff for the International Festival of Children’s Magicians. She has also lectured at and been an associate staff member at Clownfest in NJ, sharing her knowledge and skills in creating balloon sculptures & the art of Glitter Tattoos. Terrie has also taught face painting, balloons, glitter tattoos and/or "Paint-A-Loons" at various conferences around the country including the 2010 Show Me Clowns for Jesus National Conference, the 2010 MACA (Mid Atlantic Clown Conference) & Clownfest of New Jersey. She will once again be joining the 2011 staff of Show Me Clowns For Jesus National Conference in February 2011. She is an accomplished and award winning full time balloon artist, face painter, temporary tattoo airbrush artist and clown. She has also trained and mentored 3 of her children and her husband who have also clowned & entertained with her.
