Artist Bio
While Karen Henderson now calls the stunning green mountains of Vermont her home, her early years were spent in Bucks County, Pennsylvania in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Art school took her from the big apple of Brooklyn, New York to pre-hipster era Portland, Maine, then back to the Philly area to attend Moore College of Art & Design, learning all things textile from three of the world's most amazingly talented artist professors. She went from designing wallpaper to running a fiber program at Peters Valley Craft School. The top of the Delaware River wasn’t far enough north though; she and her partner Jim packed up and landed in the smallest capitol in the country, little Montpelier, Vermont. Her artwork has been exhibited nationally, collected frequently, and has been featured in artist interviews for books, magazines, and online. (check them out on the links page). Sometime, while catching up on Netflix, check out the award-winning films “Black Swan” and “Louder Than Bombs” = don't blink and you'll catch glimpses of Karen's art in the set design behind actors Natalie Portman or Jessie Eisenberg (...so exciting! Now we just have to get Jude Law on a film that needs textile-fiber art on set...)
