1st October 2011   Dear Bill and Kate McGuire, On behalf of the entire TSS Sony Foundation Children’s Holiday Camp committee, I want to express my appreciation for your generosity in support of the camp. Your contribution to supporting our camp for the second year running, is incredibly generous and the smiles you create through your wonderful skills is simply just not able to be measured.This year we had 41 children with special needs and I think each and everyone of them had their face painted and left with a balloon creation of some sort.As a charity we do not have the funds to provide this type of entertainment. You not only provide your time and materials completely free of charge you leave behind a memory for all of us to take home and keep forever.Your support means so much to us but even more to the TSS Sony Foundation Children’s Holiday Camp participants.Thank you from all of us and I look forward to seeing you again for our 2012 camp.

Sincerely Steve Bear Co-Chair TSS Sony Foundation Children’s Holiday Camp

Our golden Rule has been any Face-Painting around the mouth & nose areas we use a new Face-painting sponge for each child always  
*we do not wash & recycled in front of you* We throw it away & use a new one! A caring insured professional painter will look after your little ones. Remember when booking a professional ask for these procedures

As an Artist/Hobbyist Kates inspiration comes from her childhood in Newcastle with her love of Art's, children, music,designing-sewing,shell collections, flowers & surfing. When painting Katie smiles whilst remembering the day she was asked to leave the class room for painting butterflies and flowers on friends arms. As a young teenager she sold macrame, Dream-catchers, Shawls & Jimmy Hendrix faces & more & painted them literally everywhere plus designed One-of-a-Kind clothes & accessories  sometimes a labour of love especially with one days notice.

She split her time between surfing her music (weekends) & (Sales) in a local craft & haberdashery/women's clothing (The Modern) & evenings in the F & B Industry & always the entertainer, hence the many fancy dress parties she attended. As a teenager Kate was unlucky with cars. 2 hrs before her first surf comp @Foster-Tuncurry a car side-swiped them. Then  a couple of years later she was hit by one....Now the positive side..... is she had a long time healing in & out of hospital with sketch book or crafts in hand & even today you won't find her bored. Painting,Designing & Recycling everything.                                               

In the Eighties Kate began making piece work (shell belts and accessories) for the Coolangatta Shell shop who supplied mostly large department stores worldwide so with permission to DIY her own One- of a Kind Designs she branched out using materials like denim, shells, bamboo, beads, silks & feathers she designed a couple for Karen at Brothers Neilson / designed sketches for swim suits & accessories for Lou Bikinis & many other Gold Coast Stores & sometimes selling at the Carrara markets at the weekends wholesale. 
These days it's a little bit harder for Kate with OA etc, whether she is Face-painting, twisting balloon animals at a birthdays/community event or Designing/Creating her beautiful One of a kind Dream catchers,Butterfly Art,Wings & Braids and Groovy Clothes etc with her equally talented Husband Bill, Katie is a creative thinker & they both enjoy sharing their knowledge.
