Featured Artist: Natasha Henderson

Natasha Henderson is a painter who has?áresided in Montreal for almost four years. Originally from Comox, British Columbia, she graduated with her BFA from the Emily Carr University in Vancouver in 1998. Her work has been exhibited and collected across North America.

Her paintings delve into questions about?áartistic representations of?álandscape. She uses the language and codes of other artistic forms, such as?ápoetry and?ámusic,?áto examine?árepresentations of thought and meaningful patterns within her painting.

Environmental concerns are touched on in her work, however, those concerns?áare not forefront. She combines an aching beauty, a seeking of light and meaning, along with the?árecognition that there is a cycle of life that sometimes just stops.

In the future she plans to paint using home-made (free range) egg tempera paints and to eliminate toxic chemicals completely from her practice. See much more of her work at NatashaHenderson.com.
