I was originally born in India and grew up being fascinated by all forms of art. As a child, I always enjoyed sketching motifs and patterns on paper. I took different art classes and became interested in oil and acrylic paintings. At age 12, the night before my cousin’s wedding, I started to do henna on my family and siblings. It was at that moment that I realized how much I really enjoyed doing this for others.

Everyone appreciated my talents, and before I knew it my passion was turning into my hobby—and as I grew older, I was able to turn it into a professional business as a henna artist. Having others enjoy and appreciate my work was a wonderful feeling. Since 1995, I have been creating professional henna for fundraising events, private parties, cultural celebrations, and more.
