n an unassuming home in Airdrie, four cherubic little girls are accustomed to coming home to a sight most children would find unusual. Their mother occasionally opens the door with her face elaborately painted like a decaying zombie, terrifying ghoul or glittering butterfly. It’s all in a day’s work for local artist Amanda Tozser, owner of Amandamazing Art. Tozser is an exceptionally talented face and body special effects artist whose work has catapulted her to national attention in recent years. She’s no overnight sensation though – Tozser has been creating art since she was a child.
