Quinn Henderson
b. 1994

Quinn Henderson (b. 1994, Guelph, Ontario) is a self-taught oil painter whose work explores the intricate relationship between landscape, light, and emotional resonance. Primarily known for his naturalistic and impressionistic approach, Henderson’s paintings capture the quiet beauty of the natural world while evoking themes of stillness, loneliness, and isolation.

Henderson’s creative journey began in his hometown of Guelph, Ontario, where he developed a deep connection to the landscapes around him. While his formal training is minimal, Henderson credits a mentorship with artist Keita Morimoto for guiding and refining his artistic voice. His work is marked by an intuitive understanding of color relationships and a dedication to portraying the subtle yet powerful atmospheres of the environments he paints.

In his landscapes, Henderson invites viewers to experience not just the scenes themselves but the emotions they stir. His pieces reflect an ongoing exploration of solitude and the quiet moments found in nature, offering a meditative space for reflection. The richness of his oil paintings brings texture, depth, and life to the simple but profound subject matter, creating intimate visual narratives that resonate long after the viewer has stepped away.
