Henderson’s practice is grounded in the poetics of place, memory, and psychological nuance. Rooted in a rural upbringing and shaped by a neurodivergent lense, Henderson’s work explores the tensions between interior and exterior worlds where personal histories entangle with broader social undercurrents. Depicting tender and uneasy scenes that portray themes of youth, belonging, and the lived realities of small town life.

His bold use of expressive colour and form emerges intuitively and builds emotion, seeking to make sense of things that resist words by exposing vulnerability, myth, and the complicated edges of identity.

Henderson’s paintings trace the contradictions of growing up amid beauty and silence, where care and survival are often indistinguishable.

More than image-making, Henderson’s practice is a process of sense-making a way to hold and examine experience, using symbolic language to translate the unspoken into form.
