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 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.
