Meet the Artists
Taruna Singh is an Indian-Canadian mixed media artist based in Oakville, Ontario. Her work combines layered textures, gestural marks, and Indian block print motifs to explore themes of identity, belonging and transformation. Over the past five years, she has exhibited in more than 20 shows across Canada, with her work held in collections in Canada, India, the U.S., and the U.K., including St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. Taruna also shares her love for process-driven art through Gelli printing workshops at Lakeshore Arts, East End Arts, ON Culture Days and the Grimsby Public Art Gallery.
Dayna, founder & artist of Reverse Karma Co. Reverse Karma is a lifestyle brand focusing on all things good vibes through art, handmade incense & curated home goods. Originally started creating handmade beaded gem stone bracelets and gold plated jewelry focused on healing and good vibes in 2016, she then incorporated her everyday meditation practices and decided to create her own incense and put them out into the universe. Her focus is to encourage others to incorporate selfcare, rituals and art into everyday life without making it feel task-like. Doing something you love and enjoy daily.
Mansi is a skilled Henna artist from India and a proud graduate of Humber College’s Arts program. With over a decade of experience, she has mastered the intricate art of henna, alongside her work in painting and visual effects for film and television.
Her passion for traditional art forms and modern design shines through in every piece she creates. Whether it’s delicate bridal mehndi, festive designs, or custom patterns, Mansi brings a unique blend of cultural richness and personal expression to her work.
She hand-prepares each batch of henna paste using 100% natural, organic ingredients sourced from mehndi leaves. Her henna is completely chemical-free, safe for all skin types, and gentle enough for children.
