About the Artist

HI!! My Name is Rebecca Vandervort, a multifaceted and award-winning artist specializing in SFX makeup, wig making/dressing, hairstyling, and makeup artistry. With over a decade of experience in the industry, I have cultivated a profound passion for the art of creative transformations. My professional journey has led me through diverse environments, including television and film productions, editorial/lifestyle shoots, commercial projects, live events, shop/lab environments, trade shows, and private client engagements. Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of serving as a department head, overseeing the creative direction of numerous projects. This leadership role has allowed me to channel my unique blend of creativity and technical expertise into delivering exceptional results. 

 

While I am a California native, I have had the opportunity to work and live in various cosmopolitan centers such as San Francisco, New York, London, and San Diego. Currently based in Los Angeles, I am available for local assignments and am willing to travel.

 

Please feel free to reach out to me for inquiries regarding my services, rates, and availability. Whether you are a filmmaker seeking to breathe life into your characters or an individual in pursuit of an elevated aesthetic, I am dedicated to realizing your vision with precision and artistry.
