About Jollybugs
Long before there was Jollybugs, there was Merry Makers; a children's entertainment company in Houston. Somehow Merry Makers found me when I was 17 and I was fortunate enough to learn under an amazing artist, Carolyn Monk. Since then, I have been doing everything from balloons, face painting, story times, princess parties, to dressing up like a ladybug and blowing bubbles in the rain! Now residing in Arkansas I have started the brain child of Merry Makers, my very own Jollybugs. Like Merry Makers, I hope that Jollybugs brings joy to families. That more than the art, people feel hope, kindness, and joy- something the world needs a bit more of!
Our Artists
Katie Sharp
I graduated from the Bauer College of Business of UH with my Bachelors in Accounting in 2015. But before that, I was a whimsy and silly theatre kid with a passion for working with children and storytelling! That love of storytelling has manifested itself in my life through countless ways! From reading storybooks in animated voices at birthday parties, acting out a story on a stage or simply staying up late letting my mind travel to faraway places as I drift to sleep- storytelling is where my soul thrives. I have been happily married to my husband Cody, who is my greatest supporter, for 10 wonderful years- we have two wild adventurous boys of our own! I full heartedly love Jesus and strive to honor Him in every area of my life and hope that His love is felt with every balloon, every face painting, and every story told! My heart is to love people and make them feel safe and special.
