Capucine is an experienced henna body artist with a background of over 20 years as a trained illustrator and graphic & multimedia designer. She is an accomplished digital photographer specializing in portraiture, landscapes and macrophotography. Capucine has had training in the Creative & Fine Arts and has received a degree in Illustration & Design from Dawson College, as well as a background in Education with a specialty in the Teaching of Art from McGill University in Montreal.
Her interest in the art of
henna dates back to over 15 years ago, but it was only
with the advent of a reliable Canadian source of fresh
imported henna powders that she was able to begin her
self-education in earnest. With her background in the
fine arts and graphic design, it did not take long for
her to gain an excellent proficiency in this ancient and
noble artform.
Although she also works with traditional cultural
designs, Capucine enjoys spinning her own take on henna
imagery using both ancient and contemporary sources to
create a style that is often described as "fusion" or
"alternative" mendhi. She is always happy to create
custom designs for your special needs; whether it is for
a bride looking for a specific cultural style or someone
who would like to experiment with more futuristic
imagery. Capucine will gladly use your own reference
material to create a unique piece of henna art just for
you.
Capucine's henna artwork has been featured in the
Henna Tribe 2008 Wall Calendar. She
is also well-known for her aboriginal and native
american style henna designs. A status Indian of the
Membertou Mi'kmaq First Nation, Capucine has
participated in numerous powwows and aboriginal events
as well as pagan and tribal festivals where her
original and custom henna designs are in great demand.
She also creates henna designs on a variety of
mediums; including wax candles, wooden frames &
keepsake boxes and greeting cards.
Capucine uses only the purest and safest of ingredients
for henna body art; fresh henna powders imported from
India, Pakistan and Morocco, essential oils such as
lavender, cajeput, eucalyptus and tea tree oil and
delicately scented orange blossom and rose waters.
