About the artist
I had henna done on a beach in Goa and fell in love with it. I bought some henna off the local market and started trying it myself. Through trial and error I found the right henna powder and a good recipe for a nice stain. For the rest of our travels I used my boyfriend as a guinea pig, aswell as other people willing to sit still long enough. I took some henna powder home and continued to practise. My newfound hobby soon turned into a full-fledged passion!
Since then I have been doing henna here in Dartford, London and the surrounding counties. I've done Moroccan and Arabian themed parties, festivals, markets and more. I've met some lovely people along the way and got to know them through the medium of henna and I hope there will be more great henna experiences on my path!
