Our artists experienced professionals!
Jen Schafer began learning about henna while working in the children's department at the Wood County District Public Library in Bowling Green Oh in the late 90's. She was offered the opportunity to teach teens at the library about what she'd learned. Later she went on to present her henna related programing ideas at a conference of librarians from all over Northwestern OH, and encouraged them to offer such programing at their own libraries. They didn't. They hired her instead! Slowly over the next few years Jen began to spend more time as a henna artist than as a librarian and she officially began Body Art by Jen, the first incarnation of her henna business, in 2001.
After a few years Jen had more job opportunities than time. She taught her long time friend and fellow artist how to mix henna and create henna designs of her own. She picked it up right away and has been continuing to develop her skills ever since. Now Danya handles many jobs like parties, private appointment, and events in the Toledo area as an independent artist and as a Henna Muse artist. It was at about this time that the name of the business was changed to Henna Muse.
