SARAH HENDRICKSON
Hendrickson, an emerging artist, is already well known locally for her drawings, paintings and sculptures.
She is heavily influenced by her early experience growing up in a small town in the heart of the Cascades, where she spent much of her time exploring flora and fauna found in the wild. She continues these explorations via her work, which takes form at the intersection of nature and imagination, where the “real world” collides with the worlds we see and experience with our mind’s eye. Subjectivity and an absence of dictatorial expression define the parameters—so much so that viewers of the same work often walk away with very different, highly personal interpretations of the piece.
“I like to think of my art as falling into the ‘choose your own adventure’ genre, as oftentimes each viewer of a single piece has a different, yet somehow concrete interpretation of it,” wrote Hendrickson in her application essay. “My work is personal, coming from an unavoidable DNA of memories of real places and real feelings; and dream places and dream feelings.”
Sarah was selected for the inaugural April-June 2015 AVA a-i-r program.
