Artist Spotlight: Cj Hendry
Cj Hendry's practice started as a hobby. She has no formal art training and considers herself "not very creative." Her works are primarily hyper-realistic, large scale ink drawings of luxury objects that sometimes take 200 hours to complete. Working with ink on paper her pieces are achieved through layers of what she refers to as scribbles
Artist Cj Hendry is known for working in a monochromatic palette, but she departed from her typical style to create Complementary Colors, a series of hyperrealistic colored pencils drawings that recreate luscious blobs of paint. Considering that some of the best colored pencils are oil based, the choice of the tool seems fitting.
