Hey there!
I'M JOBANA

Hi, I’m Jobana— a live wedding painter, guest portrait artist, and creator of custom hand-painted illustrations.
My love for art began when I was just a little girl. Raised by a single mom who couldn’t always afford toys—let alone art supplies—I learned to find magic in the everyday. Whether it was scraps of paper or pieces of cardboard, I used what I had to create something beautiful. Those early years taught me a lesson I carry into every piece I paint: art is less about perfect materials and more about the heart and soul you pour into it.
Today, I’m honored to work with couples and clients to create deeply personal keepsakes that celebrate love, connection, and life’s most meaningful moments. Whether it’s a live wedding painting, intimate guest portraits, or custom illustrations, every piece is thoughtfully crafted with care and intention.
My background as an experienced designer allows me to blend aesthetic sensibility with storytelling. I believe in working with kind, thoughtful people who value quality, transparency, and meaningful connections. Your wedding day is one of the most important moments in your life, and it deserves to be celebrated through beautiful, lasting artwork.
When I’m not painting, you can usually find me arranging florals for fun, watching trash television during breaks, and dreaming up new ways to bring more beauty into the world.
I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s create something special together.
I live for those magical moments that make us feel alive inside.
