About My Art & Journey
I don't use store-bought cones. My henna paste is 100% organic, hand-mixed by me with essential oils like eucalyptus. This is why my clients achieve that deep, rich stain that lasts. It is the exact same quality you will get whether it is a small festival design or a full bridal application.
From Hobby to Career
I taught myself the craft four years ago, starting with family weddings. Those early days of laughing with my sisters while applying mehendi are still my biggest inspiration. It pushed me to turn a passion for sketching into a full-time profession.
The Competition Edge
Participating in contests like those at Z4 Studios was a huge step for me. It was not just about winning the trophy; it was about testing my skills under pressure and seeing how other artists approach their craft. It kept me grounded and pushed me to refine my technique, especially with detailed filler work and symmetrical patterns.
My Approach to Henna
It is not just about the design. It is about the organic ingredients, the smell of the eucalyptus oil, and ensuring the stain is safe and dark. Whether I am competing or working at a client's home in Mavalli, the process is the same. I focus on creating a connection through the art, ensuring the design tells your story, whether it is for a festival, a wedding, or just because you want to treat yourself.
