Ep 14: Eden Orfanos, Hollywood Makeup Artist & Art Therapist

Eden Orfanos worked for years as a make-up artist in Hollywood, on a broad range of projects, including blood for TV show, Dexter, makeup on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and cadavers for the CSI detective shows. She also worked with the likes of George Clooney, Jude Law and Kristen Stewart, along with set design, stylist and producer roles. After growing tired of the more negative tendencies in the Hollywood world, so embarked on a journey to Africa, working with deaf mute children, using art therapy as a form of communication and teaching.Eden is a rare talent with touching and fascinating stories from her unbelievably varied career and I had to record one of our conversations which I can assure you, are always far from dull! Now getting stuck into an art therapy degree, we discuss the extremes of her journey so far, the unexpected routes it has taken her and how she now starts to see much method to seeming madness with the benefit of hindsight. Eden is a testament to how we all have the scope to shift between the many disciplines in the creative industries with the right mix of personality, patience ability, desire and hard work.Please sign the petition mentioned in this show to support the arts in our education system: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/111731Check out Eden's work at: http://edenorfanos.com and also: http://edenmakeupartist.com/https://twitter.com/EdenOrfanos Eden's Twitter accountPhoto: Pablitomas http://pabloaguilar.com/ x
