Bad Ass Stencils are designed by award-winning body painter Andrea O'Donnell. Andrea O'Donnell has been creating beauty in various forms for over 25 years.
In 2004, after more than a decade of working primarily with runway fashion shows, special events and weddings in the salon/spa industry, Andrea combined her love of paint, art and colour with her skill, experience and knowledge in makeup artistry, and began focusing on creative, intensely colourful makeup and body paint applications for editorial shoots, studio projects and live events.
In 2010 Andrea designed and launched Bad Ass Stencils, a line of multi-tasking tools created specifically for body painters, which quickly became one of the most popular products in the face and body art world. Today, the Bad Ass Stencils brand is sold all over the globe, and includes various expansion products such as Bad Ass Minis (BAMS), Half Ass Stencils, BAM PAX, Copy Cat and Triple Threat stencils.
Andrea’s work has been published numerous times both nationally and internationally, and she has been honoured with many awards for her art, including multiple First Place and People's Choice wins at the 2009, 2011 and 2012 Face and Body Art International Conventions among others, but through all of these successes, her goals have remained the same - to bring awareness to, and represent body painting as a valid art form; to help all artists work smarter, not harder; and most importantly to always “Do what you love, and love what you do!”
