Meet Rosie

Founder of Pop Up Easel | Fine Artist | Illustrator | Creative Mentor

​Hi, I’m Rosie Iglesias — a professionally trained fine artist with an Art degree from Hillsborough Community College. I further pursued my creative studies in animation at The Academy of Design and Technology, expanding my skills in visual storytelling and design. I’m also a children’s book illustrator, social media creator, and the heart behind Pop Up Easel.

​

But beyond my credentials, I’m a wife, a homeschooling mom of four wonderful kids, and a woman of faith living in Gibsonton, Florida. I faithfully serve in the video ministry at my church in Tampa, and everything I do — from running my business to raising my family — is done with one purpose: to honor God and be a blessing to others.

Pop Up Easel isn’t just about painting. It’s about creating meaningful experiences — laughter around the table, confidence built one brushstroke at a time, and memories that last long after the paint dries.

​

When you book with me, you’re not just hiring someone who can teach you how to paint — you’re choosing a skilled, professionally trained artist with a heart rooted in faith and family. I care deeply about excellence, hospitality, and making every guest feel comfortable and capable — even if they say, “I can’t even draw stick figures.”

If you’re looking for a painting party experience that is joyful, organized, high-quality, and filled with genuine connection — you’re in the right place.

​

Let’s create something beautiful together.
