Murray Henderson

I live in Peterborough,Ontario, Canada I was recognized as an artistic rarity early on in life.
I was Born with natural talent and an instinctive understanding of the creative process, actively
pursuing art since grade school . I have enjoyed exceptional success with my wildlife paintings and now find my work leaning more toward personal interest pieces, often focused on hockey ,sports and fishing.

I have committed myself to supporting worthy causes in the community around me and Sharing my paintings with charitable organizations across Canada and the United States, raising millions of dollars for conservation organizations like Ducks Unlimited Canada , the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and a variety of sports and NHL-supported charities.
My work is featured in private and corporate collections in Canada, the U.S., Scotland, England, Ireland,
Sweden, South Africa and Australia.

My new style “EXACT ABSTRACT” is becoming quite popular and I feel it gives the owner a sense of excitement . I focus on great sports players and moments ,try to show the athletes likeness with the rest of the canvas is just a jumbled up crazy abstract ....but that’s what happens to artists: you’re always thinking about what would make an interesting painting. I think a way to describe it best............... A sense of awkward grace. “EXACT ABSTRACT”
