𝟓,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 🥹❤️
That still feels a little wild to say.
There have been so many new faces here lately, especially through , so I figured this was probably a good time to reintroduce myself.
Hi, I’m Stella. 👋
I’m a Filipino artist based in Palm Beach, a live painter, guest illustrator, face painter, therapist… and apparently now also the woman who keeps drawing random strangers and making them cry. 😂
But this whole thing started long before the weddings, brand activations, destination events, or viral stranger portraits.
It started with a little girl in the Philippines who was always drawing.
Then came the “safe” career path.
Then physical therapy.
Then one questionable Amazon face-painting kit.
Then body painting.
Henna.
A friend who trusted me enough to ask me to paint her wedding after I hadn’t touched a canvas in 12 years.
And somehow, all of that became Stellar Live Painting.
The older I get, the more I realize that art, for me, has never really been about just making beautiful things.
It’s about noticing people.
Celebrating them.
Preserving a moment.
Making someone feel seen.
Whether that person is a bride, a wedding guest, a toddler asking for Spider-Man, a gate agent, a flight attendant, a server, or some poor unsuspecting stranger who thinks I’m about to complain to them. 😂
So if you’re one of the newer 5,000 people here, welcome. I’m so glad you found me.
And if you’ve been here through the face-painting, henna, body-art, wedding-painting, guest-illustration, or early Stellar days…
𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞.
5K is a milestone, but more than anything, it feels like 5,000 little reminders that there are still people out there who care about art, kindness, connection, and making each other feel seen.
That means more to me than you know.
I’m really glad you’re here. ❤️
