Acey May was born in Yakima, Washington but raised in Iowa. She pursued an Elementary Education degree at Washington University, and was required to take an Art Instruction class, where she began to experiment with art herself. Acey realized she had a love and talent for art. Her previous doodles lead her on a path to discover a love and passion for Henna design and tattoos, which are drawn on the skin. Acey has pioneered the use of Henna techniques on a standard canvas. As with Henna, Acey uses acrylic paint in a cone similar to a pastry cone to create her art on canvas, and by utilizing this technique she has created an entirely new art medium and style.
Acey currently resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she continues to create art with both Henna and acrylic paint, with her artist/musician husband Dan Garduno and their 1 year old daughter Luna.
