About
Lindsey Henderson
My art has often been described as whimsical, with a lot of my inspiration coming from nature - from the coolness of the ocean to the pallet of colours of freshly fallen leaves. My medium is mainly acrylic paints with a dabble of water colour pencils, oil pastels and anything else that catches my fancy - from tissue paper, glass beads and wire, to the buttons on your shirt. If it sticks to canvas, chairs, mirrors, or whatever I'm painting at the moment - if it enters my realm of creative vision I'll snap it up and use it.I also like to express myself through carving soapstone, making beaded jewelry, sculpting with clay and creating digital artwork with Adobe Photoshop. I got my first set of paints about 16 years ago but didn't really do much with them. I think I painted a few t-shirts but then life came along and my paints went into the attic. I worked as a graphic designer for the last 20 years with 10 of those years working for the British Columbia provincial government as a graphic designer & Communications professional. In 2002 I branched out on my own and opened my own graphic design business. Shortly after that I went up to the attic, blew the dust off my paints and brushes and I've been painting ever since.
