Stephanie Henderson is a painter who works primarily in hard-edge abstraction. Her work revolves around bold, saturated color and how colors communicate with each other and affect the observer. Her paintings contain forms that are simple, allowing the colors to express themselves without complications.

Henderson’s work reveals focus, precision, and disciplined shapes coexisting with playful color combinations. She enjoys the challenge of painting perfectly clean lines freehand with a brush.​ Stephanie embraces the belief that color alters mood, outlook, and brings joy to life.

Stephanie lives and works in Atlanta, GA. A native of Thomasville, Georgia, Stephanie earned a B.A. in English from University of Virginia and an M.A. in Journalism from the University of Georgia. Her work is shown in select galleries across the US.

One of Stephanie's recent works, Arrowhead, shown at Pryor Fine Art, reflects her upbringing in South Georgia.  "I now think of hunting for arrowheads as meditative," she says. "As a child it was simply fun and exciting. The best time to look for arrowheads is after a heavy downpour because the rain washes away the topsoil in a field (especially if it's just been plowed) or along a dirt road, particularly in the ditches. Finding the relic is a meaningful link to the people who lived on the land before us, and painting them is a way to pay homage to our shared stewardship of the piney woods in the Red Hills region of South Georgia.”
