Garth Henderson is an Australian Artist, currently residing in Victoria.

He is known for his intricately detailed botanical studies, and has been refining this process since graduating in 2003 from RMIT Melbourne, where he specialised in 3D modelling and print media. These contemporary botanical works explore the visual intersection and immersion of reality and technology, and the resulting responses to the real and the reconstructed.

Works are digitally sculpted to form intricately hyperreal studies, exploring the complex architectural geometries of iconic plants, whilst pushing the boundaries of traditional Botanical Art. By referencing flora, it is a creative approach rooted deeply in experience as a visual artist and horticulturist. A background in photography, printmaking and virtual design informs this visual style.

Working to encapsulate the themes of universal geometry, works take the concept of the botanical microcosm, and expand it to its universal stature: presenting the diminutive on an empyrean scale. Intricate and detailed, these works capture the viewer in an intriguing state of the familiar and the unknown.

Works are represented in private and public collections throughout Australia, and internationally in London, Seoul and New York.
