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.

Animal Paintings

I painted a flock of birds, blessing a woman's pregnancy, flying merrily across her belly and breasts.
I painted an elephant, Ganesh, "the opener of doorways." This Momma has had a lot of time on bedrest but now she is free to birth any day.
And I ended my painting day with another peacock, protecting and holding space with a beautiful mandala.
It is a joy to meet the pregnant community, birthing the current generation.

Laurel helped pick out all the pictures of mushrooms I had to look out to create this original one, it was fun.
