Maryann Hendriks Biography

Maryann Hendriks Artist Photo

Maryann Hendriks was born in 1964, raised in Dorchester, a small rural town of South Western Ontario, Canada. An Art Major graduate of Bealart, with a Photographic diploma from Fanshawe College, each earned at London, Ontario; working long term independently, and guided by her mentor at the craft of painting Fine Art, these sum up her artistic training.

Maryann worked many years as an entrepreneur, always harbouring a desire to paint professionally. 2005 saw opportunity for her to relocate to the Okanagan area of British Columbia and begin that journey. Transgressing through traditional stylized Canadian Landscape painting and experimenting with Abstraction, she now finds her language in a brightly coloured Semi-abstract Still Life genre.

Late 2012 found Maryann in a new home and studio closer to family and friends in Cambridge, Ontario. She actively exhibits her work and is represented by numerous galleries across Canada.

Maryann Hendriks Biography Artist’s Statement

“In the garden, my hands are filled with wonderfully twisted bundles of flowers, twigs and grasses. I collect snips here and there as I travel. Like to physically touch nature with my hands. Many moons before I was a florist. I insert posies in one of my numerous vases. A foreshortened digital image, atypical angle predominant.”
 
“ In the studio, my hands are filled with brushes, knives, scraping implements. Hardware supplies that I have amassed over the years. Like to physically touch paint with my hands. In this new moon, I am an Artist.”
 
Maryann Hendriks finds her language in brightly coloured semi-abstract Still Life Genre, in brushes loaded down with paint, in multiple marks and layers, passages of washes, gels and juicy gobs of acrylic materials.  Form, space and texture lend themselves well to the play. A lifelong love of flowers clearly evident.
