Some of the companies I've worked with.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

Interested in the ever popular "Paint & Sip"/"Paint Night" concept? Well guess what, you can bring that experience to the comfort of your very own home. Book me for group and more intimate settings. Add some flare to your birthday party, baby shower, bachelorette party, girls night "in", date night in and more. Paint parties come with all supplies including 16” x 20” canvases, a curated playlist of the host’s choice, and sparkling cider. Please contact me so we can work out the details.

PAINT PARTY

Alcoholic beverages can be provided for an additional fee

$35 per person

HENNA ART

I've been practicing henna for a little over a year now. Henna is a type of body art. Henna (powder used to create the henna paste) comes from a plant. It temporarily stains the skin in a cool pattern that mirrors the design laid by the henna paste. You allow the paste to stay on for a few hours (to allow the stain to set). The stain then lasts about 5-10 days depending on what part of the body it's on and how often it's in water. I'm available to do henna one-on-one, as well as at parties, showers, reunions, etc.
