Inspirations


I bought this box of Yogi tea since there were some great henna designs on the box. I immediately went home and created the design from the corner of it, onto my hand. Loved it, and got great compliments on it.

Amys's Henna Tattoo

Here is an original henna tattoo pattern based on traditional concepts of course! Amy & I were sititng lake side on a breezy morning when we did this art. I tried to create a pattern that fit here hand, her mood, and the day.

We were able to take this photo of the henna paste still on the skin. Her hand is resting in an old orchard bird bath! I really like this photo.

Of course we are now drawing to the close of henna season here, although if you call ahead & make an appointment, we can still do great art!

belly henna



I was honored to create this on a wonderfully busy baby. He was incredibly active throughout the whole time I was painting. The mom wanted something kind of intricate in the middle, then branching out on the sides. I had a paisley on my hand at the time, and she loved it, and wanted it to be the center. I did the paisley and then grew it from there.
