Meet Sunwoo, the artist behind Illustrated by SUN
Sunwoo Mansour is a Sydney-based live event illustrator creating bespoke illustration experiences for weddings, brand activations, and corporate events. With a background in Fine Art and Communication Design, she combines artistic craftsmanship with a design-led approach to create artwork that connects people, stories, and experiences.
Through Illustrated by SUN, Sunwoo has collaborated with leading brands including Netflix, Amazon, and Harvey Norman, as well as leading corporations, luxury boutiques, jewellery brands, and iconic hospitality venues across Sydney. Her work brings together expressive illustration, thoughtful design, and a deep understanding of each client’s vision.
Her approach is centred around creating artwork that goes beyond capturing a moment. Every illustration is thoughtfully tailored to reflect the atmosphere, purpose, and identity of each event — transforming meaningful occasions into memorable experiences that guests and clients can cherish long after the event.
Her creative approach is versatile — from paper and live portraiture to digital artwork, product applications, and bespoke event concepts. While her work can adapt across different mediums and creative directions, her signature style remains rooted in expressive watercolour and ink wash, creating artwork that feels refined, timeless, and uniquely personal.
Whether elevating a wedding experience or creating a memorable brand activation, Sunwoo creates thoughtful artwork that connects with people and enhances the story behind each occasion.
Every project begins with understanding the client’s vision and purpose.
My approach to creating meaningful experiences
Artistic foundation, designed for you
With a strong foundation in Fine Art and years of developing observational drawing skills, I bring a refined artistic eye and attention to detail to every illustration. Combined with my background in Visual Communication Design, I create artwork that is both expressive and thoughtfully designed around your vision.
Personalised to your story
Every wedding, brand, and event has its own atmosphere and identity. I take the time to understand your style, theme, and purpose, creating illustrations that feel authentic, elevated, and uniquely connected to your occasion.
More than a drawing, an experience
Live illustration creates a moment of connection. From guests watching the artwork come to life to taking home a meaningful keepsake, my goal is to create an experience that people remember long after the event has ended.
"There truly aren’t enough words to describe how incredible Sunwoo & team were on our wedding day."
Her illustrations were genuinely one of the absolute highlights of our reception, and our guests loved them. People are still talking about how special and unique it was to walk away with a personalised illustration, it brought so much joy to the night. Sunwoo & team were not only extraordinarily talented, but also so proactive and attentive. She made such an effort to ensure guests were photographed and drawn, all while battling 40 degree temperatures on a glass boat. Her professionalism and dedication stood out immediately.
