I was born and brought up in a culture where Henna is a part of everyday living and used for medicinal purposes. Carrying such beauty and a unique form of art, I moved to Airdrie 12 years ago and noticed that this Artistic city celebrated art in a way I never saw before, but one state of the art was missing, and that's how the thought came across. So I have the pleasure of being the first one to introduce henna art in Airdrie.
I appreciated, encouraged and awarded for this action, and the residents of Airdrie showered an unbelievable amount of love. From then till now, Henna has been 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!
