About CREATEa


CREATEa is an arts company originally launched in August 2009 as the face painting business Create-A-Face.
Offering an array of services for your events such as Face & Body Painting, Glitter Tattoos, Balloon Twisting and Balloon Centerpieces, we decided to up our game with the addition of Henna, Custom Cakes & Other Baked Goods, Indoor/Outdoor Balloon Arches & Columns, Balloon Decor, Special Effects Makeup and Commissioned Art Services & Sales.

Who is CREATEa?
Cheryl Guerino
CREATEa Artist/Founder

Cheryl Guerino is an artist currently living in Lowell, Massachusetts.
She founded CREATEa ARTS (formerly Create-A-Face) in 2009 as a means to supplement the family income. She always had a passion for art and after considering many 2nd job options, decided that a face painting business would allow her to earn extra money with a flexible schedule resulting in less impact on time spent with her children.
In April 2014, Cheryl returned to the canvas after a near 20 year break from fine art, with her work being displayed at UnchARTed Gallery as well the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum and is currently commissioned both internationally and at home in the States.
