Hayley Bird Art

Qualified in makeup artistry and performing arts in 2006 and been a freelance artist ever since. After a model ‘no-show’ at a MUA job in my early days I found out I was rather good in front of the camera as well as behind the scenes - I now have over 10 years modelling experience.

After meeting my partner in 2009 I progressed into the world of face/body painting and hair wrapping and together we started the ‘Sunshine Artists’. We paint and wrap at some of the UK’s top festivals including Glastonbury, Latitude and Boomtown. We have also used our creative skills to open a little online shop selling our handmade creations and fashion accessories.

Now a fair few years on, I combine a lot of my artwork together and often get hired to paint myself and model or to makeup and style a model for example (2 birds with one stone!) as well as sourcing and hand-making my own costume and props for requested looks. 

I have a real passion for creativity, detail, exploring colours and styles. I mainly get noticed for my quirky, fantasy looks within my work and have been told I have a Bowie/Kate Bush vibe. I LOVE hitting the mark with any spec given. Recent popular themes include cosplay, sci-fi and implied/art nude. Specialised skills include latex/sfx makeup, tattoo cover ups and handmade creations. 

Also known as Alt Bird Art for lingerie to art nude modelling.
