Mountain Waterfalls and U.S. Release Update

I am excited to announce that the book is finally available in the U.S., and even in the U.K., now on Amazon. (See here for all the links) I am hoping some of you might find the book a good choice for Christmas gifts. I have a very small number of signed copies that I am happy to personalize.

With most of my finished work in Canada and my studio in boxes, I am left with what I hope is some peace, some time to recharge after what has been an overwhelming year. Creativity requires down time too. Time for material to be absorbed instead of made or we are left with no fodder to create.  I wanted to share a couple of those moments with you.

As the tourist season begins to fade away, the views and the quiet of the mountains of North Carolina become ever more impressive. If you like the sound of waterfalls, enjoy the brief video below!

Once Imagined Launches September 30th!

It is finally here…

The book of stories, paintings and photos of a series of Muskoka historical and abandoned buildings launches September 30th at the Auburn Gallery in Gravenhurst. There will also be an exhibition of the last paintings from the series that will run until Thanksgiving.

Join us at the Auburn Gallery in Gravenhurst at 1pm Saturday, September 30th. 

Meet the author/artist, see the paintings and get a book signed. 

Hope to see you there!

If you can’t make it, the book will be available at local bookstores in Gravenhurst and in Muskoka as well as available now on Amazon.ca , Chapters-Indigo and direct from the Mosaic Press website.

Follow me on FaceBook, Instagram or Twitter to get updates between now and the opening!

From the release:

Have you ever wondered about that old empty house or abandoned ruin? Who lived there and why did they leave? If the walls could talk, what would they say?

If only you could look inside…

Michelle Hendry takes you inside some fascinating houses, hotels and ruins from around the Muskoka region, many off limits to most of the world – private locations such as Sparrow Beach Lodge and Cooper’s Falls General Store. Gravenhurst is best known for it’s steamships, but in the late 1800’s it was the flashpoint for a very brief gold rush and the man who discovered the first nugget built a beautiful house that he would never live in.

 Thanks for sticking with me!

Change is inevitable. Even while getting ready for September 30th – the final date for the opening and book launch. There will be more on that coming soon. But, for now, I thought I’d share this photo I took last year in the Oklahoma Panhandle that seems to fit things perfectly.

Four Corners in Photographs II

Part II of the Four Corners road trip. In total we drove around 2500 miles in 10 days. It was grueling at times, but just when you think you’ve had enough, there are views like these and people like Delphina Sells, the Navajo Medicine Woman we met at Shiprock. She was with her son, Roderick and her mother for a healing. She is a remarkably strong lady, having overcome enormous odds. Thanks to her kindness we got up close to the head of the dragon. That’s a story for another time…

Double Arch. This cannot be captured in a photograph. The scale is too overwhelming. Sound echoed like in a giant's cathedral. There are peole in this photo, they are just too small to see. We lingered here a bit because the memory here is not in the picture, it was in the feeling... Arches National Park, UT
