Award-Winning Artist Creating Custom Art, Live Painting & Memorable Event Experiences
Art has the power to connect people, tell stories, and capture moments that matter. My work lives across many forms. From paintings and murals to live events, workshops, and creative collaborations. Always created with care, experience, and heart.
Meet the artist
Welcome to my world of art. With over 15 years of professional experience, I create custom artwork that captures people, stories, and moments that matter. From intimate portraits and expressive murals to unique commissions, every piece is created with care, skill, and my personal artistic style. My aim is simple: to capture a moment with every brushstroke so you can keep it forever.

follow us on Social Media
My work often travels far beyond the studio into festivals, exhibitions, competitions, and the media simply because live art has a beautiful way of connecting people. Over the years, this journey has led to international recognition through awards, publications, television, and social platforms, and I feel incredibly grateful for every opportunity to share what I love. For you, this means working with an artist who brings not only experience, but genuine care, curiosity, and heart into every project. I invite you to follow me on social media to see recent events, creative moments, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of how each artwork comes to life.

If you’re looking for a face painter for your party or event, I’d love to help. I create beautiful designs for adults and children using safe, professional products. As a teacher and mum of two, with experience working with children, teens, and people with disabilities, I ensure every client enjoys a fun, inclusive, and safe experience.

Your safety and peace of mind matter. I hold a full Disclosure Check, ensuring all work with children, teens, and vulnerable clients is safe, professional, and responsible.

Every project is unique. From portraits and murals to special commissions, I create original artwork that reflects your ideas while staying true to my signature style.

Face painter/Jamvention“Ulianka was a teacher at the jamvention twice. The second time was on our live stream COVID-19 edition 2020. She did a great job and the viewers loved her skull. A few were painting along with her, and she inspired a lot that made her skull in the days after the live stream following her lead. The results were stunning. Excellent teacher!!”
