Ingrid Henderson (b. 1997, Berkeley, CA) is a textile artist working in fabric collage, dyeing, garment construction, and large-scale sewn compositions. Drawing from everyday images and objects, her work explores belonging, displacement, material history, and the ways people and things are expected to fit within predefined spaces. Her practice began with wearable art and has since expanded into large-scale textile pieces, garments, quilts, soft objects, and commissioned works, including a custom textile bag created for the red carpet premiere of I Love Boosters. She graduated cum laude from Wellesley College in 2019 and received her MFA from California College of the Arts in 2023.
Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and she has received honors including the Friends of Art Prize for Excellence in Studio Art, the Slade Graduate Fellowship, and the Alice C. Cole ’42 Grant, which culminated in an exhibition at Wellesley College in 2025. She was awarded a residency and exhibition at Kunstkollektivet 8B in Denmark and selected to attend Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in 2025. Alongside her studio practice, Henderson teaches textile-based workshops for youth and adults, including through Youth Art Exchange, CCA Extension, University of Rochester, and the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art.
