Rachel Deboer has been a self-taught face and body painter for over 10 years and a professional actress for over 25 years. After earning her B.A. in theater performance, she relocated from the east coast to Los Angeles. There she earned a spot with "The Dream Theater," known for its fantastical, other-worldly shows combining surrealistic costumes and makeup where she was lead actress, director, and body paint model for a multitude of avant garde events.

She moved to Maui, Hawaii eight years ago and launched Fabulous Faces. Her very first professional face and body paint gathering was the World Body Painting Festival in Austria in 2008. Expecting to only art model she decided to compete as a painter and returned with 3rd place in the Semi-Pro Brush and Sponge category as well as being featured in Illusion Magazine. F.A.B.A.I.C 2009 was her next convention where she presented at Katie Hunt’s “Show & Tell” and was happy to embrace the face and body art community even more.

Rachel has been teaching theater for over 15 years, has many years experience on both ends of modeling and painting, and can bring to the body art world a much needed focus on the personal relationship between artist and model. She hopes to infuse in models a deeper transformational connection and greater invested presence with the artist’s body paint vision as well as to help artists to theatrically direct and inspire their models to achieve the masterpiece they are looking to capture on film. For her, there is no body art without performance art. Her current body painting works focus on combining native Hawaiian cultural and Polynesian body art traditions with local performing art troupes.
