Celestial Henna

Visual Art – San Diego

My name is Samara Shhadeh and I am a 20 year old self taught henna artist. My passion developed when I was 15 years old and I have been adorning bodies with henna ever since! The quality of my craft is extremely important to me, even more important is the safety of the bodies that I adorn, that is why I make my own henna paste. I love the history of this centuries old form of art, and I find it extremely valuable in helping others become more aware of the beauty in traditions and cultures from different parts of the world. It is always an honor to share this beautiful craft with others!
