Edward Lee Hendricks

Born in Charleston, West Virginia, Hendricks currently lives in Houston, Texas and The Hamptons. With studios in Houston and New York, sculptor Edward Lee Hendricks has since his first exhibitions in New York and Houston in the early 1980’s, established himself as a nationally important artist who has pioneered the use of movement and balance in his elegantly crafted metal sculptures.
