I was born and brought up in a culture where Henna is a part of almost everyday living and use for medicinal purposes. Carrying such beauty and a unique form of art, I moved to Airdrie 10 years ago and noticed that this Artistic city celebrating art in a way I never saw before but one form of art was missing, and that's how the thought came across. I have the pleasure of being the first one to introduce henna art in Airdrie.
I appreciated, encouraged and awarded for this action and residents of Airdrie showered an unbelievable amount of love. From then till now, Henna is a part of Airdrie on all occasions, from Birthday parties to School Clubs and Libraries, from Christmas events to Mother's day celebrations; Henna is everywhere because the Henna plant does not belong to one Culture or Country. It carries the healing properties which everyone should and must enjoy. 
My clients are not clients for me but a part of my life. We share joy & I love to see the smile on their face while i am applying henna because.....BEAUTY OF HENNA CANNOT PRAISE ENOUGH.

henna artist and painter 
​dua junaid 

 My name is Dua Junaid. I'm spontaneous, daring, funny and my love for art is unwavering. I love every medium of art, and am very diverse and open minded about learning new things. I really enjoy painting, as well as drawing and photography. Doing art in general makes me happy, no matter if I'm good at it or not I find it really fun! I'm in V.A.M Academy at W.H. Croxford in hopes of expanding my worldview and knowledge about all forms of art. I tend to be very whimsical and magical with my paintings/art, though I do it unintentionally sometimes. I love it when the weather gets cold and it starts to snow, I also love the Fall months- but I can't stand it when it's hot.
I'm a complete daydreamer (and a night dreamer), dozing off is all too familiar to me.
I'm not sure what I want to be yet, but what I am sure of is the fact that I want to do art for the rest of my life- as a hobby and hopefully in some way integrated in my career.  I also do Henna art with my mom, who owns a henna business, that's just another form of art I love to do. Hopefully being in this academy, I'll learn about all I can about my favorite subject- Art!
