EVELYN SALGUERO
Evelyn Salguero is a working Henna artist based in Santa Cruz Ca. Her multicultural upbringing brought her to discover henna at the young age of 15. As part of her practice she is dedicated to educating not just on the application and the decorative elements of henna but also the botanical, cultural and historical details as well. She believes that henna has the power to heal both the receiver and giver through acts of self care, bonding with others and by way of meditation.
