Nik Henderson

Nik Henderson (he/him) studied illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design, and has worked with clients such as DreamWorks Animation Television, Red Star Animation Studio, and on various pitch projects for animated productions. He has since been transitioning from animation into children’s illustration. Nik was born on an US Army base in Adana, Turkey, and grew up in Missouri on a small hobby farm, surrounded by chickens, goats, ducks, and horses. His summers and winter breaks were spent at an airport, where his father worked. Inspired by the hillside of the Ozarks and the aircraft he came to love, he began drawing and painting at a young age. Art quickly became a passion that led him to the world of illustration. Besides painting, Nik can be found writing, hiking, and scouring flea markets for antique cameras. He currently resides in Strafford, Missouri.
