Our Unique Standing

First-place for all five World Championship titles. First-place in Asia. First-place in USA. No one else in history can say this.

Five distinct disciplines. Five separate levels of mastery. We won a sweep of first-place victories in each and every category in only four years. Top honors at competitions and events all over the globe. We co-founded the largest bodypainting competition event in the Western Hemisphere. We co-founded bodypainting events within the Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Festivals and the Olympia in Spain, South Africa, and the US. We founded the first international bodypainting film festival. We created the first event to combine opera with bodypaint, and the first combining bodypainting and fire performance.

Scott Fray and Madelyn Greco achieved a Guinness World Record and are the only Americans ever invited to give a TEDx talk on the art. For more than two decades they have painted, judged, taught, and built at the highest level of a medium older than recorded history. This is the living archive of that work.

World Record Holders

World Champion titles from Europe, Asia, and North America

Before we ever competed, Scott sketched a drawing of the two of us as world champions and taped it to a kitchen cabinet.
We made that drawing every year we competed. And every year we came home with another first-place trophy.
