I’ll be teaching, “Professional henna artist?…Yes, you can!”
About
My name is Neeta Desai Sharma (MehndiDesigner), and for almost three decades I have been adorning brides and inspiring artists with my mehndi designs. I have shared my passion for Henna worldwide, and have practiced and taught this art form across America, Canada, India, Australia and the UK.
This exquisite form of body art is part of my cultural heritage and I am proud to be able to decorate each bride-to-be with a pattern unique to her personality, including motifs that express her inner dreams and desires. Although proficient in many styles of Henna, I treasure traditional Indian bridal designs, and take exacting care with high degree of detail in my work. I love how the mehndi ceremony fits into the entire celebration of Indian Weddings, and cherish my role as one of many spokes in the wheel, making a couple’s special day truly a memorable occasion.
Once I had a parent tell me “Your role is so important in a wedding as it is usually the mehndi ceremony that kicks off the wedding festivities”. I love to extend this art form onto cakes and other mediums like wood, glass and candles.
I also enjoy teaching henna to others and have authored numerous design and instructional books for artists. I have received recognition and honor for my work.
I view teaching as a means of introducing and sharing to others my lifelong love for mehndi. I am so excited to be here this weekend and share my knowledge and passion with you all. If I can be of any assistance to you please do not hesitate to reach out.
