Angelique M. Henderson What is your professional name? Angelique M. Henderson. Where were you born and does that place still influence you? I was born in Austin; Texas and it has not influenced me. Where do you live now and how does that place influence you? I currently live in a rural town called Pembroke in North Carolina. Do you have family, friends, or fellow artists who support you in your work, life and art making and how do they make a difference in your life? I have my immediate family and some friends that support me mainly with reassurance of knowing what I want to do in my life. When and how did you start making art? I learned to draw my own style in high school. When I got into college I was able to learn different types of printmaking. Can you describe the time when you first realized that creating was something you absolutely had to do? I first realized that I wanted to create art was when I was in high school. A woman I did not know came up to me while I was sketching random stuff in my art book. She wanted me to sketch a tattoo for her. I did it for free because it was a simple rose. Later my school wanted me to create a design for a t-shirt for a community basketball team. Looking back, I totally should have charged the basketball team.
