Hello, I am Jacinta.

I love dancing, camping, fancy dress, fixing things, digging holes, treasure hunts, science fiction, hiking, escape rooms, glitter, saunas and pondering the universe.

But most of all I love being alive on this big beautiful planet that grew me.

I studied fine art because I wanted to create things that bring people joy. Then I studied psychology to find out what it is that brings people joy. I am still figuring out the answer to this, but I know there is something about being connected with each other and with nature that is important.

In my work I am also interested in the inter-connectivity of all things; mortality; beauty and romanticism; silliness and play; bodily intelligence and somatic experience; and female power and energy.
