Paisleys and Swirls X Hugs on the Side

Ooh, hi! I’m Naqiya, the artist behind Paisleys & Swirls￼ and Hugs on the Side￼. Through Paisleys & Swirls, I share my love for henna artistry, blending traditional Indian designs with modern creativity. Based in Houston, Texas, I’m a proud artist, mama, and wife—grateful that my passion has become my purpose. My mission is to spread the beauty and joy of henna everywhere and let its sparkle reach as many people as possible.

Beyond henna, I created Hugs on the Side, where I design and sell colorful, emotion-filled art and merchandise that feel like a little “hug on the side.” You can find my creations on eBay￼, Etsy￼, and www.paisleysandswirls.com￼.
