Annette Henderson
ARTIST STATEMENT/BIO
"My name is Annette Henderson and my husband Jeff and I have lived in the West Liberty area all our lives. We raised two children, Cole and Hannah. Having grown up on a farm, I developed a love for the outdoors and nature’s beauty. For me, all art is derived from nature.
I have always loved to draw and create things and enjoyed art classes in school but beyond that I’ve no other art instruction. Over the years I have dabbled in drawing, stained glass, jewelry making, photography and making mosaics. All self taught. I just could not find my creative niche. Then in 2015 I was urged to participate in one of the WLAAC classes they offer. I chose painting and found I really enjoyed it.
At first I was very detail oriented and wanted every painting to look like a photo. It was easy to get frustrated. I struggled with mixing colors and my paintings usually turned out dark. In the last couple of years, I’ve been trying to force myself to paint more freely. I’ve become more comfortable with mixing colors and not so afraid of color. Also not to be so stingy with my paint. I’ve found that I really enjoy layering colors to achieve certain effects.
I’ve also gotten over the fear of painting over an area that I’m not happy with and just starting over. I would always try to fix it but somethings just can’t be fixed. It’s easier and less frustrating to just begin again.
I would say landscapes are my favorite subject to paint. I’ve taken a lot of pictures while trail riding my horses around the country. I’ve ridden in 15 states so far. I get a lot of my inspirations from my trips."
Annette currently meets to do art and "art therapy" on an almost weekly basis with a group of local artists.
