Hēya was created by a passionate woman. For years, Hala Ostwani had been searching for a way to use her art to give back. She played around with different mediums, and still does.

Each piece by Hala is carefully handcrafted in her studio, a sunny little spot in Upstate New York where magic happens everyday. Hala dedicates a percentage of every Hēya sale to give to foundations that empower women around the world.

When trying to come up with a name, Hala searched for months. She finally decided that nothing matches her mission better than Hēya, the Arabic word for “her”.
