CJ Hendry brings ‘Straya’ Exhibition to Australia

Popular Brisbane northside artist, CJ (Catherine Jenna) Hendry will hold an art exhibition in Australia in May 2021.

CJ is a contemporary artist known for her realistic, large-scale drawings that have captured the attention of celebrities and the art world.

CJ attended St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School on Brisbane’s northside before moving to America, where she is now based in New York. CJ’s artwork is in high demand, with her 2021 commissions starting at US $39,900 for a 45” x 45” piece (her 105” x 65” pieces are worth US$124,900).

Details are still limited for her Straya exhibition, but it will focus on unique Australian slang. “The STRAYA series is kind of special in many ways,” says CJ. “I have always dreamt of one day drawing my own product and it so happens we designed a card game and I am drawing this very game... also this is my first museum show, which is crazy.”
