Chhaya, mehndi and canvas artist

Hi, I'm Chhaya.

I started with a henna cone at family functions, and slowly picked up brushes too. Today I do both: mehndi for brides and celebrations, and paintings for homes and gifts.

I like work that feels personal. A bridal design can carry a name, a flower she loves, or a pattern from her family. A painting can be the view from a grandparent's window. Tell me the story, and I'll draw it.

Mehndi
Natural henna paste, mixed fresh. Skin-safe and dark-staining.
Painting
Acrylic, watercolour and mixed media on canvas and paper.
Travel
Home visits for mehndi. Paintings can be shipped, carefully packed.

Have something specific in mind?

Custom artwork starts with a conversation. Here's how it works.

  1. Tell me the idea. Share a photo, a colour palette, a size, or just a feeling. Rough is fine.
  2. Approve the plan. I send a quick sketch or design and we agree on the price and timeline.
  3. I make it. You get progress photos, and small changes are welcome along the way.
  4. It reaches you. Mehndi at your venue, or your painting carefully packed and delivered.
