III · The Artist Behind the Art

It started at fourteen.

My grandmother took me to a henna workshop in our community. By sixteen, I had booked my very first bride.

Six years and more than three hundred brides later, what I love most is still the same: being trusted with something so personal, on one of the most important days of someone's life.
