Henna by Sara's Story
I moved to LA to pursue an acting career in 2000, while looking for work I stumbled upon an ad in a school newspaper, of a school I didn't go to. The ad said "Henna artist needed, no experience necessary" and I thought right away, this sounds like me. I had drawn on myself with Sharpies throughout school and had never heard of henna tattoos. The fact that it lasts longer than Sharpies, has a beautiful rust color stain, is 100% natural, AND I was going to get paid to draw on people! Sign Me Up!
The woman who taught me the ins and outs of henna is still a good friend of mine, Merritt Zalon, who lives and works in LA as a henna artist and henna instructor. We worked so many parties together and had so much fun together, I am forever grateful to her for introducing to me the art of henna.
Since my time in LA I have threaded two businesses together; henna tattoos and mural painting throughout LA to Santa Barbara, where I currently live, and am working out of my studio space on Garden Street. The acting fell to the waist side, and my fine art took it's own path, and here I am today.

Artist, painter, muralist, designer...I am grateful to be able to do so many different creative things in my life and career. Sometimes I feel it's a curse because I am pulled in so many directions at once that my brain frazzles, but most of all I feel blessed to do what I love, and bring art and life to as many people as possible.

Chuckie is an excellent marketing man, logistics guy, analytics wiz, and a fantastic brother. We can sit around and laugh all day together, or focus and work hard together, it's a rare bro/sis combination I am blessed to have. I am most grateful for his calm demeanor, hard work and impromptu beer breaks.
