Justin Henderson, artistically known as Leo Hendrix, is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans both visual arts and music. Born and raised in Tyler, Texas, Hendrix developed a deep appreciation for the arts at a young age by listening to cassettes on the way to school and drawing and doodling in class and selling them to other students. While art was still his first love, music was in his peripheral which ultimately led him to join the band in middle school. After graduating high school, Hendrix moved to Houston, where he received a certification in audio engineering at Mediatech Institute. During his time in Houston, Hendrix worked with artist all over Texas including Lil Ronny and Yung Nation. This unique combination of talents allows Hendrix to create works that are rich in texture, rhythm, and emotion.

In 2012 Hendrix decided to go back to school and find his passion in art. He studied at University of Houston earning his BFA in studio painting. After completing his studies, Hendrix relocated to Dallas, where he has continued to evolve as an artist and educator. Now in his third year of teaching elementary art, Hendrix is dedicated to inspiring the next generation of artists, sharing his knowledge and passion for creativity. Hendrix’s work often explores themes of identity, community, and transformation, reflecting his personal journey and the cultural landscapes they navigate. His dynamic approach to artmaking and teaching has made Hendrix a respected figure in both the visual and musical arts communities.
