The School of Visual Art and Design at Southern Adventist University announces the “Word & Image” exhibit opening, featuring award-winning illustrator and best-selling author John Hendrix, on Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 6 p.m. This collection will be on display in the John C. Williams Art Gallery in Brock Hall through Nov. 5. Mr. Hendrix also will hold a workshop at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 26 in Thatcher Hall Chapel on campus.
Mr. Hendrix is well known for both his freelance commercial work—appearing in Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone and The New York Times, to name a few—and his playful sermon sketchbooks.
He also writes and illustrates children’s books and graphic novels, such as Mythmakers: The Remarkable Fellowship of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien set for release this fall.
Mr. Hendrix is the Kenneth E. Hudson Professor of Art at Washington University in St. Louis, and was recently named The Society of Illustrators’ Distinguished Educator in the Arts for 2024.
