Anna Henderson

I live about 33 klm from Guyra in the New England Tablelands. I create mixed media, semi abstract works on canvas and wood. I also have a long time interest in low fired ceramics, particularly raku.

I live in a quiet, isolated part of the New England Tablelands. I am surrounded by a landscape that is forever changing. My work is therefore forever changing. My mixed media work is semi-abstract and abstract. It sometimes deals with the extremely complex relationship between humans and the land and our environment. We are in awe of it, we destroy it, we idealise it, we alter it, we buy and sell it, we use its resources, and we create new environments. My paintings are silent and lonely, the many layers of paint creating a history and strength to these portraits of the land.
