The artist behind the easel

I’m Jacinta — a Sydney-based live event painter and illustrator with a passion for colour, connection and capturing the moments that matter most.

I’ve always believed that art doesn’t belong locked away in a gallery. It belongs in the middle of the room — alive, unfolding, and bringing people together. That’s exactly what live event painting does.

Whether I’m at the easel at a wedding ceremony, sketching guests at a birthday party or creating a bespoke piece for a brand event, my goal is always the same: to add something truly unforgettable to your day.

I work primarily in acrylic paint — yes, even for my live illustrations — because nothing captures vibrancy and energy quite like it. I love a good chat, a colourful canvas and the moment a guest wanders over mid-event to watch the painting take shape.

Based in Sydney and available to travel, I’d love to be part of your next celebration.
