Jacinta is one of the celebrated Numina sisters, whose bold, confident, and colourful paintings are enjoyed in homes throughout Australia and all over the world. Her sisters are Sharon, Selina, Caroline, Louise and Lanita – and each of the Numina sisters are highly regarded Aboriginal Artists in their own right. Jacinta, her sisters and two brothers are the children of Barbara Pananka Price and the late Douglas Petyarre, and it was two of Douglas’ sisters – the internationally-renowned Aboriginal Artists Gloria and Kathleen Petyarre – who taught their nieces to paint the Bush Medicine Leaf ceremony (Aunty Gloria) and Thorny Lizard Dreaming (Aunty Kathleen). The Numina Sisters are also the great nieces of Emily Kngwarreye and Kudditji Kngwarreye, who along with Minnie Pwerle and Ada Bird Petyarre, are the most internationally acclaimed artists of the Aboriginal Art Movement of the Utopia Aboriginal Lands of the Eastern Desert that emerged in the 1970s.

Jacinta began her career as an artist in the early 1980s at Stirling Station when a number of women elders from the Utopia region started painting. In 1996 she moved to Darwin to study art and completed her Associate Degree in Art and Design at Charles Darwin University (CDU) in 2003. From 2004–2008, Jacinta was a Printmaker at the internationally-renowned Northern Editions – the longest established publisher of limited edition prints in Northern Australia. Many etchings, screen prints, lithographs and linocuts produced by Northern Editions have been acquired by major art galleries, museums, corporate and private collections around the world.

The central themes in Jacinta's work relate to her extensive knowledge of Anmatyerre (Women's) Law and of Country, as well as her experiences of growing up at Stirling Station.
