Being a part of that journey, and enabling them to see what could be,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love makeup. I\u2019m a freelance makeup artist and love creating characters, aging people&#8230; I\u2019ve done heart transplant scars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI recently worked on a short film where they needed a facial scar and an ancient scribed tattoo across the character&#8217;s forehead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to her production of <em>Napoleon in Exile<\/em>, Maxwell said she wants the audience to walk away from the show with the hope that even in an uncertain future, there\u2019s still beauty in brokenness, fragility in humanity, and connection is important.<\/p>\n<p><em>Napoleon in Exile<\/em> is on stage on Thursday, 10 November and Saturday, 12 November at 7.30pm in The Engine Room.
