About
Prashanta discovered her love of art at a very early age, encouraged by her grandmother, who was a painter and crafter. After majoring in biology, fine arts, and Asian studies in college, Prashanta worked briefly as a professional medical illustrator, until the emerging trend toward computer-generated illustration prompted her to pursue more ‘hands on’ creative endeavors. With mehndi, she found the perfect blend of artistic expression that is steeped in culture and tradition. Her business name, Divya Henna, serves as a reminder to see the Divine in all things, and to make all of her artistic creations a divine offering.
