Connie Ehindero

Connie Ehindero is an abstract landscape painter. Her art reflects immersion in the natural world, translating its lines and forms, seen and unseen, past and present, into paintings. Ehindero’s paintings move between natural space and the flat surface of abstraction, moving the viewer from the literal landscape into a primal connection to the natural world. She works in both acrylics and encaustic. 

She often paints at her cottage on the shores of Lake Ontario. Connie says, “All that I have painted started from my connections to this place, the lake, its barrier dunes, old growth woods and marshes.”

Connie is a member of Genesee Valley Plein Air Painters and Working With Wax Group. She shows throughout the region, and has won numerous awards, including a Merit Award at the Memorial Art Gallery’s Clothesline Show, and Judges Awards at the annual GVPAP Annual Show. She was a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts grant. She is a member of the International Encaustic Association and an encaustic teacher at the Mill Art Center, Honeoye Falls, N.Y. Her new video, “Wax and Words,” can be viewed through Painting with Fire, from Essence of Mulranny in Ireland. She received her BFA from St. Lawrence University and London College of Printing, London, England.
