A native of New London, Connecticut, Ted Hendrickson studied photography at the University of Connecticut where he received B.A. and M.F.A. degrees, and at Rhode Island School of Design, where he earned a Master's degree in Art Education. He is now associate professor emeritus of art at Connecticut College.
During the past fourty-five years, Ted Hendrickson's photographs have explored the nature of landscape as image. Ranging from the man-made scene of the built environment and the wooded and coastal landscape of Southern New England, to the landscape of Ireland, Hendrickson's laconic personal views can be simultaneously poetic, comic, tragic or mysterious. His work records layers of geologic and human history in a concise, straightforward style without overtly injecting the drama of the picturesque.
Hendrickson's work has been featured nationally in numerous one-person and group exhibitions. He received a commission from the Connecticut Commission on the Arts to photograph the towns of New London County for permanent exhibition at the New London County Court House. His work is included in many prestigious public and private collections.
