About the Artist
Sarah Jennifer Di Martino

I have been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil in my hands, and I started painting shortly in my single digit years, starting with pets, architecture, people and almost anything that caught my curiosity. I always had a strong affinity for both painting and photographing people growing up, developing my photography skills in my early teens and into my early 20's, however I kept coming back to painting, and over time ran both weekly markets selling my art, as well as a pet-portraiture business for several years whilst studying and completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at UNSW Art & Design.

 

During this time and afterwards, I showcased my artwork in several group shows as well as solo, self-run exhibitions, including 'A Future Place' (2020) full of over-grown cityscapes, and 'Amalgamate Sydney' (2021) full of abstract and mixed artworks. I also founded the emerging artists exhibition and directed the showcasing for 12 emerging artists called 'The Next Step Sydney' as well as completed a largescale commission mural for Dan Murphy's in Prahran on Chatham Street, both done in 2023.

​

I have always loved romance and weddings, even before my own wonderful wedding to my fabulous husband. I actually started out as a 'drop' DJ for weddings on the side whilst I painted my artworks, where at one wedding I discovered a fantastic live wedding painter there and thought "This is a real career?! Oh my goodness, what a perfect idea! I WANT TO DO THIS!!". I then started my live wedding painting journey, where it slowly began to emerge for me in around 2022 amongst all of my other committments, and in April, 2024 I officially opened my own business doing live wedding paintings called Melbourne Wedding Painter. This is now my main gig and I love every second of it.

 

I still absolutely love all weddings to this day. They're one of the most amazing days of any couple's lives, and being able to paint each bridal couple's special day into their own majestic and unique artwork is such a true joy in my heart. It's an absolute honour to be a part of every single wedding I attend, and I love that through my artworks, each pair of newlyweds gets to relive their wedding day, every day, for the rest of their wonderful lives together. It is a very fulfilling adventure to be able to paint romance on a daily basis. It feels like heaven on earth to me having a wonderful artistic career that celebrates love every day!

With love and happiness,
