About me

Ayesha Henderson - Spritely Designs - artistHi my name is Ayesha Henderson, I am a national multi award winning face and body artist and I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

Ever since I was old enough I’ve always been drawn to and truly enjoyed all things creative from crafts, sewing, sculpting, drawing, painting and being an artist in general.

I have been a face painting artist since 2005, creating prenatal belly art since 2009, body painting since 2010 and have enjoyed re submerging myself into mixed media art since 2012. I have also illustrated two books and painted four murals.
