This first time mama looked through my page of Pregnancy Design ideas on my website and told me she loved mandalas, the moon, paisleys. Feathers were also a significant personal symbol to her. On further reflection, she added,
“The lotus flower is also a beautiful way to imagine opening and blooming into this future and the role of motherhood.”
I thought that was such a profound and beautiful sentiment.
I loved exploring all the possible ways to blend these elements into a cohesive design, and I was able to sketch out a design for her before she even arrived. It's moments like these that remind me why I love creating meaningful art to honor motherhood.

What a cheerful gathering to honor a mama's rite of passage into motherhood with her two sisters and her niece. I love bearing witness to such a joyful occasion surrounded by so much love and laughter.
As an artist, it was a pleasure spending two and a half hours with them, adorning the mama-to-be and then her family members with a lovely design that beautifully reflected the henna belly art.

Natural henna reaches its peak “tattoo” color after 2 to 3 days. Hands are always darker because our skin is thicker on our hands so there’s more ways for henna to be absorbed.
