Bajidoo Art~

About 9000 years ago and steeped in tradition, the practice of henna tattooing began, a form of art and beauty unto itself.

A little more than 45 years ago my artistic eye began to develop. After a vacation trip to the Middle East in 2000, the two events somehow collided to form  my new brand of whimsical art. By incorporating the swirls, curves, circles & lines of Mehndi (henna) art into my images, the rather random marriage of the two became a new expression of realism - a new view of real life, & viola!

Here you have it, special brand of what I coined to be "Bajidoo art". Working mainly in mixed media, most commonly -- watercolor, aquarelles, marker, pen & ink, and acrylics - but also working directly with henna paste, mixed especially for the purposes of  creating art on wood and other surfaces.
