Turning a Model into a Flamingo 🦩 - Live Body Painting at Sonesta Fort Lauderdale

I did something that stopped guests in their tracks - I transformed a live model into a flamingo. Right there. In the middle of the event.

The event was hosted by the Sonesta for attendees of IPW 2026 - one of the biggest international tourism conventions in the country. The theme? Tropical, pink, Florida. And honestly, a flamingo was the only answer. 🦩

One Hour. Full Transformation.

The entire body painting took about one hour, live in front of the guests. No curtain, no backstage magic - just me, my airbrush, and a model turning into a flamingo in real time. Guests were interacting the whole time -watching, asking questions, taking photos and videos. It became its own moment within the event.

Why Live Art Works at Events

Live body painting isn't just a performance - it's an experience your guests won't stop talking about. It pulls people in, creates shareable moments, and adds something unique that no DJ or photo booth can replicate. For corporate events, tourism activations, galas, and brand launches, it's the kind of entertainment that makes an event unforgettable.

A huge thank you to Entertainment Resource, Visit Lauderdale, and everyone connecting at IPW 2026 for the continued support of creative tourism projects. And to the Sonesta Fort Lauderdale for being the perfect backdrop for this one.
