In my artwork, I express the ideas of individuation and archetypes and how they influence the psyche and the Self through the use of symbols, diagrams, multi layers, and textural imagery. My painting/collages show the dichotomy between the comfortable familiarities of our environment and the veiled nature of reality. Using a characteristic collage style with a painterly approach his art presents new ways of looking at the world in relation to the graphic realm we are invariably surrounded by. He mainly works in collage and mixed media with a focus on fantastic themes in correlation with self-identity. His works are included in important private, public and corporate collections. He has been shown in many group and solo exhibitions around Oklahoma City and abroad.
His formal art training was acquired at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago and at the University of Central Oklahoma. Mind dissolves into the object - there is no separation.As the Director of the smART Space Galleries atScience Museum Oklahoma, Scott Henderson’s goal is to educate the community about the symbiotic relationship between the arts and sciences.

I painted them in my garden, sitting and thinking, My studio was open to everyone and once I had a visit from a snake! I studied etching and engraving in a Barcelona studio and since then most of my printmaking is drypoint engraving. I lived and worked in a beautiful garden studio with my dog and friends came to visit me. I taught art and art history in a convent for a few years and then moved to Spain where I stayed for many years. It was one of the first medieval revival companies in the country. I was a founder member of the Equinox Theatre Company in which I acted, sang danced and made the puppets.
I studied History of Art at University in Leicester, UK and afterwards took a teaching certificate in ceramics. My favourite subject-matter was flowers, trees and hedgerows in oils on a large scale and lithography, particularly fantasy and folkloric themes.
After school I went to art college in Amersham, UK to study painting and printmaking. I have been a painter-printmaker all my life.
