CarvedFX

A little about our carver, Paulina!:

With over 25 years of self-taught artistry, our sculptures and designs are personally designed and hand crafted by Paulina Goff Stovall, a youthful, driven, professional artist who creates wonders from the most unsuspecting mediums.

Paulina competed and won Food Network's Halloween Wars Season 15 in 2025 taking home the Halloween Wars Championship! She's been featured over San Francisco Bay area news programs and publishers and showcased on Creature Features recently in May of 2026. Trusted by clients like Apple, Nvidia, SF 49ers, EA Games, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Winchester Mystery House, Stanford, and more, Paulina has performed live carving, displays, and workshops for over 15 years in the high tech, Silicon Valley, California.

Inspired by practical effects and films of the 80’s and 90’s, Paulina took her passion for prop, movie set designs, and special effects and partnered them with her talent and love for Halloween, pumpkins, and holiday memories. Together they provide experiences unlike anywhere seen with opportunity to be shared with all themes, holidays, and celebrations.

When Paulina is not sculpting into the hours of the night, she’s out on adventures with her two amazing children (Trenton age 5, and Sabriel age 3) and her best friend and husband (Trent). Creating memories and sharing laughs with her family are what she lives for and why creating and performing interactive art that cultivates excitement and memories in others is the true mission of CarvedFX.
