Kenzi’s experience as a henna artist is as vast as her influences. Perhaps you have seen her work in the movies (Spike Lee’s “The 25th Hour” and Jonathan Demme’s “The Manchurian Candidate) or on MTV (Erykah Badu’s video for “Love of my Life”). Kenzi has also created original pieces for photo shoots and fashion shows. Kenzi works at large-scale corporate events and festivals (such as Bulgari, HBO and Le Tigre), as well as intimate weddings, parties and private consultations. She also teaches the art of henna in workshops around New York City.

Kenzi is the President of a not-for-profit organization, HennaTribe (hennatribe.com), an artist owned collective of international, professional mehndi artists and suppliers promoting natural henna, started in September 2004. Their mission is to provide an online community, informational resource, and professional network for anyone interested in the ancient art of applying henna to skin.

The earliest cosmetic use of henna (lawsonia inermis) was in Egypt,
where the people would dye their hair and nails,
and a Pharaoh's fingers and toes would be dipped before mummification.
Once the henna plant's cooling properties were discovered,
painting the skin and dying the hair with henna became a way for the people
in desert climates to cool their body temperature.
For centuries mehndi has been practiced in Africa, India, Asia, the Middle East,
and Central Eurasia for various ceremonies and celebrations.
Today mehndi is still practiced in many diverse ways,
from eccentric body decoration, to healing ceremonies.
Mehndi is a Magical Art

Mehndi is the art of painting the body

in ornate designs with henna.

Associated with transformation and transcendence,

it is a beautiful and mysterious art form that has been used

for centuries to heal, to adorn and to bless.

A paste is made from the crushed leaves

of the henna plant mixed with other natural ingredients,

such as eucalyptus oil, lemon juice, and black tea.

The paste is applied to the skin, and when removed several hours later,

it leaves beautiful markings that last from 1 to 3 weeks.

The longevity of a mehndi design depends on many factors.

Keep in mind that each persons skin takes differently to henna,
