BIOGRAPHY
Kristen Henderson’s initial fine art studies were under the direction of Taro Yamamoto, a descendant of the Hans Hoffman School of painting, in Eastham, Massachusetts. She went on to pursue art more formally at Sarah Lawrence College where she studied painting and sculpture. Kristen’s photography is derived from a desire to find and capture the meditative, dream-like experience in color, light and form. Her subject matter can be simple, sudden, inanimate, natural, industrial, or classic, but the intent is not so much commentary as it is to create a place for the viewer to draw wholly subjective inferences. In addition, Kristen received an MFA in creative writing from the University of Arizona, and has had poems published in numerous literary journals throughout the country, inlcuding Passages North, Birmingham Review, Clackamas Review, Bloom and others. Kristen also completed her master's degree in social work at SUNY ALbany in May, 2008.
