Stephen Henning has been a
career artist since the early seventies. An award-winning
graphic designer in the Twin Cities for almost 20 years, he
has been committed to landscape painting since 1990. His
works hang in private, corporate and public collections
across North America. Mentored by Ernest Oberholtzer,
co-founder of the Wilderness Society, Henning strives to
paint the natural landscape in its untamed state. His
painting style ranges from "tight impressionism" to "loose
expressionism." He has taught plein air workshops for
several years, and reproductions of his art - published by
Inspiration Peak Publishing and Grand Image, Ltd. - are
displayed and sold internationally. He lives near
Inspiration Peak, in the rolling hills of Minnesota's
Alexandria Moraine, with his wife and family.

"I am essentially an introvert. I
enjoy people, but part of me is always hungry for wide, open
spaces; painting is my means of escape. I have always
considered myself a landscape painter, primarily concerned
with interpreting the observable, natural world. Lately,
however, I find I am using my "inner vision" more and more
in the creative process. My hope is that the viewer can
find a state of peacefulness and joy through my paintings."
