WOW!! These videos are amazing! Noel Cooper of Hudson has transformed her body into tributes to every branch of the military. Her incredible body painting skills have racked her up several million views and recognition in the TikTok community.
She has self-taught herself to not only paint faces at children's birthday parties, but she is also a true patriot, so painting these incredible military tributes came naturally to her. Noel says she got her start drawing at a very young age and began painting faces at age 15 in the ESE wing at her school. She said the students loved it, so she kept up with it!
Noel is a single mom to her 12-year-old son, Peyton, who is currently dealing with several surgeries, injections and constant testing due to a string of health issues. He has been a warrior through it all and continues to shine! In February of 2020, Noel herself was actually run over by a water truck, who kept driving with her underneath the vehicle. Miraculously, she survived. Currently, she is not working and is working to help bring her son and herself back to full health. Between herself and her son, they are both having to go through a number of different surgeries.
She decided to get back on TikTok to try and find an outlet to connect with people and raise awareness to some serious issues happening in our country. When she started with the branches of the military, things took off for her! These are NOT your average face paintings. She does this artwork on herself, making this all even more impressive. Here is a tribute to the U.S. Army that racked up over 1 Million views.
She even did a body painting on herself to show support for the truckers dealing with the convoy issues that are continuing to happen in Canada.
She has paid tribute to every branch of the military and even tributes to first responders and healthcare workers. Noel's work has connected her with people from all over the world.
These videos don't even scratch the surface of Noel's incredible work. To see more of her art or book her for an event, visit her TikTok page HERE
