About Lynn Carol Henderson

I was the child that continually wandered off but was never lost. I was always curious. There was always more to explore. I cannot remember a time when I was not encouraged to make art.

In each form of my artwork, whether two- or three- dimensional, paintings, assemblages, or ritual installations, I speak metaphorically of a golden dream of peace and harmony. In this world, animals are connected to divinity, women and men work in partnership, humans understand the unity of all things, and the web of life is intact. This is the wild invisible world that is with us in our hearts. Using recycled found objects, bits of historic textiles and mixed media fabrications, I offer my work to that world; to the place where artwork is integrated with the everyday and the Goddess is everywhere.

My artwork comes from the part of me that touches that divine cosmos. I am never bored. I am continuously surprised and amazed. Sometimes I am overwhelmed. That is what being an artist is for me.
