Henna is great for birthday parties, baby showers (pregnant bellies are great for henna!), graduation parties, spa parties, sleepovers, bar and bat mitzvahs, school cultural activities, music festivals and concerts, and more!
Heather has been sharing the joy of henna since 1999, and is an internationally certified natural henna artist (through the ICNHA). She loves creating art that helps people express themselves and feel beautiful! She also enjoys being part of all of the different social and cultural celebrations that incorporate this interactive and engaging artform.
She is available for any event you can imagine anywhere in New England, including (but certainly not limited to) Providence, Kingston, and Newport RI, Boston, Cape Cod (Provincetown), and Worcester MA, and New Haven, Hartford and Manchester CT. She also travels to New York City for larger events.
Contact Heather today if you'd like to incorporate this beautiful ancient tradition into your celebration.
NOTE: I Am Very Slow About Getting Back To People Who Contact Me Via MySpace During The Busy Henna Season (April through August). You're welcomed to try, but you'll have much better luck emailing me at [email protected].

My Interests

henna, mehndi, mehandi, mehendi, spelling mehndi a million dialectically appropriate ways, henna artists, ancient blue, indigo, face painting, body paint, body art, temporary tattoos, henna tattoos, bindis, gilding, gilding paste, zardosi, bollywood, harquus, glitter, temptu, India, Indian art, Arabic art, north African art, American body art, models, hand models, henna tattoo, henna artist, airbrush body art, airbrush tattoos

I'd like to meet:

People who do henna, want henna done for them, are interested in temporary body art, want to try out a tattoo they're thinking about getting, love Indian/Middle Eastern/North African culture, or have any other connection (established or potential) to this artform whatsoever!

Heather would also love to hear from entertainment and promotional companies in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut who are looking for a mehndi/henna tattoo/airbrush tattoo/body art specialist to join their ranks. She already works for a handful, but is always looking for more gigs!

Heather serves: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island (the Southern New England tristate area) and beyond

Music:

I can bring a mix CD, a DJ, or maybe even a live band to your event to provide the right mood for your body art experience... Bollywood soundtracks, bellydancer-created mixes, and the ideal artsy-stuff-background-music Dead Can Dance are among my favorites if you don't know what to pick!

Movies:

The best movie I've seen that includes a demonstration of bridal mehndi is definitely Monsoon Wedding.

Television:

I'm hard-pressed to come up with some henna-related TV to mention or recommend... although my work has been featured on a couple shows :)

Books:

Some of the henna books sitting on my shelf, which I highly recommend, include many pattern books from Tap Dancing Lizard and The Art of Mehndi by Sumita Batra.

Heroes:

All of the people throughout the world who are keeping this tradition alive, and all those who have practiced it throughout history.
