Today we’d like to introduce you to Taylor Capelle.
Hi Taylor, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I’ve been creating art since childhood, but my real introduction to live entertainment came in my teens when I started painting faces and body art for events. What began as a creative passion grew into a full-scale professional venture when I founded Painted Dayz.
Today, I offer a full range of event entertainment—including professional face painting, balloon twisting, and glitter tattoos—alongside large-scale commercial work like custom murals and seasonal window art. There is nothing quite like watching a child light up when they look in the mirror, or seeing a hand-painted storefront bring energy to a local business. Doing what I love while bringing joy and vibrancy to the community is the greatest reward.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Not at all. The biggest challenge has been navigating the unpredictable feast-or-famine rhythm of event work. You can go from back-to-back bookings where you’re working on pure adrenaline without a break, to weeks where the calendar is completely clear.
Going through months where income was tight taught me how to manage the financial droughts and treat the business side just as seriously as the artistic side. It forced me to think strategically, stay adaptable, and branch out into other visual art services to keep moving forward. It hasn’t always been easy, but every slow season made the foundation of the business that much stronger.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I run a traveling art business catering across Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. My specialty is live event entertainment—professional face painting, balloon twisting, and glitter tattoos—as well as large-scale visual art like custom murals and seasonal storefront displays.
I’m known for fast, versatile, freehand artwork and a constant drive to level up my techniques. What I’m proudest of is taking a passion and successfully building it into a full-time career that supports my family and serves our community.
What sets me apart is my versatility and standard of care. I offer a complete, insured, all-in-one entertainment experience using top-tier, skin-safe materials, backed by an obsession with client satisfaction. Whether I’m painting a child’s favorite character in minutes or transforming a local shop window, I put everything I have into making it memorable
Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
Growing up, I was an imaginative, outdoorsy kid with a massive heart for animals. My peers knew me as the quintessential ‘horse girl,’ while my family always recognized me as the artist. I was confident, outgoing, and constantly building creative worlds in my head or drawing on whatever paper I could find.
My childhood dream was actually to become a veterinarian. While my path led me into the world of live art and entertainment instead, it came full circle in a funny way: today, I still spend my days surrounded by tigers, butterflies, and magical creatures—only now, I’m painting them on smiling faces!
