Naomi Henderson

November-December 2024

Naomi Henderson grew up in upstate New York where she spent her childhood playing outside and making art. She studied Art History and Russian in Connecticut, Switzerland, and Russia. She worked in France on organic farms and as a shepherdess in the French Alps. She would eventually settle in Massachusetts to become a Waldorf art teacher.

Origins-

“This series of paintings arose out of a need to play and experiment with the material of oil paint. Play is the central approach for this series of paintings. I found it incredibly freeing to let go of representational work, and to simply live into color, movement and form for its own beauty.”
