Only high grade essential oils are mixed into the paste and are provided by

A Little About Us
Primal Henna Arts is founded by Silvana Piga, a long time resident to Santa Cruz County and to California.
Originally she came from Italy and and she has traveled with her work to many parts of the world. She is trained in multiple mediums of art, including:
​
Serigraphy,
Muralism,
Interior design painting,
Classical Painting,
Photography ,
Graphic design and
A Degree in Art History.
​
Silvana adopted henna art while traveling and sharing her love for painting in the form of unique travel paintings made with guache on watercolor paper. She spent some time in a small village near Aswan, Egypt. There she was introduced to Nubian and Arabic designs.
She loves creating the traditional Indian Mogul patterns, but her favorite henna disigns are inspired by 1930's art noveau's vine work.
Henna design continues to inspire her love for art combined with her appreciation of Egyptian and Indian cultures. 15 years of professional henna artistry introduced Silvana to hundreds of people from a variety of cultural backgrounds.
Silvana as Primal Henna Arts enjoys bringing her work to arts and crafts shows and to a myriad of private events in vicinity to Santa Cruz, Monterey and the San Francisco Bay Area.
