Super Artists

Jane

I’m a full-time professional face painter and before this I was a full-time Family Support Worker, helping children and families with a wide variety of issues. Volunteering for Supershoes gives me the opportunity to do something for the children and families again, whilst being able to use my artistic skills. I particularly love painting cartoon characters and cute things!

“I heard about Supershoes from a fellow Face Painter and just fell in love with what they were doing and the ethos behind it. I feel very privileged to be part of such an amazing charity.”

Jayne

A practicing artist working primarily in textiles & kiln-formed glass, plus a part-time teacher of Art, Craft & Design.

“I still love cartoons & superheroes; they're not just for kids you know!”

I am a Mum and a Primary School Teacher. I have run a face painting business for the past 20 years and have recently started creating handcrafted story spoons which I sell online. I love anything creative and I also like being busy, so creating Supershoes for special children is a great way for me to relax.

“I love to make children happy and I hope that my shoes bring smiles and a little sunshine into the lives of children who are going through a tough time.”

Jess

I am a mum of two young children, vicar’s wife and mental health worker. I have enjoyed resurrecting my love of art and design to create Supershoes for super children.

“I feel so privileged to be involved with Supershoes. My prayer is that each pair I paint can bring a glimmer of joy and hope to the child and their family.”

Jo

I first heard about Supershoes through Super Artist Alison and immediately knew I wanted to help.  Every time I receive a pair of Supershoes it makes me a little sad knowing that a child is fighting illness.

“I am proud to call myself a Super Artist and help bring a little joy to a child and their family when they need it”

Jo

A busy mum of two; a painter and illustrator who originally completed a degree in Moving Image Design before focusing more on graphics that don’t move.

“If I can help put a smile on a little one’s face, even for a second while they are going through a difficult time, I will and I feel honoured to do so.”

Julia

Julia is an Actress, who’s also very passionate about art and design. She’s just started with Supershoes!

“Finding SuperShoes has been absolutely incredible! Every pair of shoes is painted with so much care and attention, to give a very special child a super smile! Such a privilege to be part of this Super Artists team!”

Julie

A tattooist since 1998, and a artist forever. Love all kinds of art, and a bit of a geek in training, and a biker at heart.

“It’s a beautiful thing to be able to be given a opportunity to create something to give someone a smile. Proud to be part of this.”

Julie

I’m a retired schoolteacher and have enjoyed working with children all my life. Before I retired I heard a programme that mentioned Supershoes and I thought, now that’s something I’d like to have a go at.

“I am now in a position to spend more time doing art and I very much wanted to help with such a worthy cause. I have loved doing my first pairs of Supershoes and my next challenge is to do a Super Cap!”
