· ABOUT THE ARTIST ·
I’m Leah Reddell, owner of Face Fiesta and Denver Henna!
I’m a professional henna artist, face painter, and tarot reader, working throughout Denver and Boulder, Colorado.
My adventure with the art of henna began in 2007 when my friend, Pam Trent, taught me how to make my own henna paste. Since then, I have learned from many acclaimed artists including Nimisha Lakhani, Fatima Oulad, Victoria Welch, Wendy Rover, and Catherine Lent.
I absolutely love creating art with henna — on hands, feet, pregnant bellies, anywhere! It’s a beautiful way to celebrate life!
I have attended and taught at multiple face and body art conferences (FPBA and FABAIC) since 2007, and I have been a lead instructor at HennaCon in California (the largest North American Henna Conference) since 2015.
I’m based in the Boulder area, but I serve the entire Denver and front Range Community.
