On Pins and Needles Painting

Maryann Hendriks is an accomplished Canadian painter who possesses a signature abstracted style that combines wild textures, unique brushwork and assured mark-making, and a joyous colour palette. Hendriks translates her love of still life and the Canadian landscape into a beautifully abstracted rendition of her subject. Her approach includes a multi layered application of acrylic paints and mediums, where she employs a wide array of brushstrokes, washes, and mark-making techniques. She is currently focusing on brightly coloured abstracted still life paintings from her studio in Cambridge, Ontario. Hendriks completed studies at Fanshawe College (London, ON) and Bealart (London, ON), and has worked independently as a professional artist since 2005. Hendriks currently exhibits with a number of fine galleries across Canada, and is an associate member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (AFCA) and an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists (SCA).
