My Henna Journey
I discovered henna on the Big Island of Hawaii back in 2003, and I've been exploring the art of adornment ever since. I moved back to Boulder, Colorado and in December of 2007 I began the Blessed Belly art project. I began painting pregnant women, and this practice has brought out the best in me. What follows is a glimpse of my recent artwork.
Kala's henna for her birth

Kala chose this design, which represents the hindu goddess Sri Lakshmi, the goddess of abundance on all levels, in geometric form. I went over it a second time a few days later, and then took the photo below a few days after that.
