Painting
Residency Dates: May 3-30, 2026
Studio H Canada is thrilled to welcome returning artist Genevie Henderson for a third season! Genevie is a visual artist from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. We look forward to seeing Genevie’s new paintings – inspired by the garden and this area that evolves in the studio as a finished work. Like her other innovative approaches, Genevie is building a 3D chandelier structure with flowers. The piece will use light and shadow to dramatically express her unique approach to this form.
My distinctive signa rough symbolism, stamping, markings, floating dots,
and patterns that evolve into very original personal abstractions. Look closely,
you may see the influence of Gustav Klimt who makes my artist’s heart sing.Giving back to the community through creativity is important to me. My art is
making a difference. I am proud of the legacy of joy and beauty that I am creating
in today’s complex and complicated society. It is my hope that my unique,
intriguing paintings will speak to the souls and spirits of lovers of art.
My art is me; I am my art.
