"Hernandez's favorite part of her art is sharing it with the crowd. Her models walk through the audience after a show, getting a ton of compliments. Sometimes, she uses hesitant friends as models. Afterward, they're almost never shy. "It's like they feel so protected by that little layer of art. It's magical."
Greco has seen the same phenomenon and credits the art form with breaking down many self-confidence barriers. One woman she painted had a scar on her stomach that she hated for years. After showing off her nearly naked body to a festival full of people, she came back to Greco's booth weeping.
"She felt like she could finally embrace her body," Greco said. "It's transformative in ways that we don't always understand for the person being painted. You execute it, and off goes your art -- it walks away to have a whole new life without you. Hearing the stories can be the most rewarding part of all."
"If you have one person tell you, 'Wow, you're beautiful,' that's a big day for you," Fray added. "But to have thousands of people gushing all over you, that can really change someone's life."
