Diana is a certified ICNHA Henna Artist serving the Southeast Florida area.  The ICNHA (International Certification for Natural Henna Artists), is a voluntary peer assessment for henna artists which recognizes the need for artists to understand the fundamental principles of henna, skin, hygiene, safety, culture, and traditions.  An artist certified by the ICNHA acknowledges that they will only use safe, natural henna and no products with PPD (para-phenylenediamine) which is in black hair dye.



Diana makes her own henna paste by using only 100% natural henna powder, lemon juice, sugar, and essential oils – absolutely no hair dyes or chemicals added!  She has been studying the art of Mendhi body decoration since 2003 when a friend introduced her to the art form.  She is proficient in many styles of henna including Indian Bridal, Mumbai, Indo-Arabic, Modern, Moroccan, Tribal, and flash tattoo artwork.  Diana is able to create a custom design for you or blend different elements together for a unique design.

She graduated with a BA in History of Art from Michigan State University and at last found her niche in the arts with creating intricate henna designs for adornment on the body. She is also a bellydancer, beader, chandler (candlemaker), baker and seamstress - in addition to having a full-time job as a business analyst.
