Natalie Pethick
PMU Artist
Natalie's passion for beauty is inspired by her love of art and deep appreciation of creative expression. She enjoys exploring varying techniques and the latest trends in PMU, tattooing, makeup application, as well as hair and brow styling. Natalie has always loved to draw and has been inspired by Tim Burton’s unique aesthetic since a young age. Seeing and experiencing Tim Burton’s work on exhibition at the Museum Of Modern Art (MoMA) in 2009 is one of her fondest memories. Summer dance intensives presented by the University of the Arts (UArts) in Philadelphia as well as Wesleyan University’s Center of Creative Youth (CCY) heightened her affinity for dance and expanded her love of the arts. Natalie’s early artistic experiences nurtured her creativity, and ultimately, led her down a career path where self expression could thrive. She has been a licensed cosmetologist since 2015, with an emphasis in bridal makeup and hair styling. Her work has been featured in Connecticut Bride magazine. Soon, Natalie was eager to take on another artistic skill set, and after putting in the time and work on a stellar apprenticeship with Sarah, Natalie is Licensed Tattoo Artist. She is thrilled to be making her, and her clients’, tattoo dreams come true!
Hunter Defurio
Tattoo Artist
Art has been a passion of Hunter's since a very young age. She would come home from school and instead of doing homework she'd draw with her Grandmother everyday - who was her first inspiration. Going into Middle School she discovered makeup and how much of a creative outlook that gave her. Hunter would experiment with various forms of makeup: SFX, Bridal, Editorial and Beauty. However, she began to develop an interest in psych and learning how the brain works during her early college years, sadly having to put art on the back burner to concentrate on her studies. When she was focusing on school and ultimately earning a Bachelors Degree from CCSU...she realized that was not her passion. During quarantine, she knew that was her time to fully divulge in art, painting every day, learning new skills and teaching herself new techniques. "Having the opportunity to turn my passions into a career is something I will forever be grateful for, and continue to learn and grow everyday."

Anthony Barbosa
Studio Coordinator
Everything can have beauty, even the worst horror - Frida Kahlo Over the years art has been his outlet to escape from the everyday world. Learning many different forms of art from sculpting, painting, drawing, hair, theater, SFX and more, he has really thrived in environments that allow him to create but also be around people filled with amazing energy. Over the years Anthony opened multiple business that involved some form of art. Over time he realized two things he was most passionate about were Halloween and Managing/Helping others. After years of working with the public in the salon industry he decided it was time to focus on his Halloween business for a change, however for 2 years he felt like something was missing and his purpose wasn’t being met. Fast forward to now and he is incredibly excited to become a part of the Sarah Victor Studio Team where he not only gets to be surrounded by incredible art/artists but also gets to put his outgoing personality back to work on a daily basis!
