Ian Hendry
Ian Hendry grew up in the countryside of southeastern Canada where as a young man he spent considerable time outdoors, often with sketchbook or camera. He studied graphic and industrial design in Toronto, and, after moving to New York, worked in interactive electronic publishing as a graphic designer and computer-graphic artist. He continued his interest in photography, with photographs published in both Time and Life magazines. Moving to Connecticut in the late ‘80’s, Hendry studied at the Wooster School with Yale-trained American artist Alexander Shundi. Mr. Hendry moved to Memphis in the early 1990s to raise his family and start a software engineering firm, which he sold in 1999. He recently re-connected with his love of painting and began to seriously study art history and the classical painting techniques of the old masters and figurative painters of the 19th and early 20th centuries. He is now working out of his own studio, concentrating on landscapes and the occasional commissioned portrait.
