Rochester New York metal artist John Hendry has been designing and creating one of a kind art from his studio since the early 1980’s. Everything John puts into form is his own and never outsourced or duplicated. He has public works that grace schools and memorial gardens as well as many homes who have embraced his style, which has been described as “eclectic with a bit of whimsy”. John loves to create work that flows naturally such as the steel ribbons that encompass much of his work. His wine racks are an example of his practical art that can be used as well as viewed. This style is present in much of his work which combines sculpture with a purpose.
Leona formed a working relationship with Hendry in 2010 when he created custom tables and wine racks for a bar and media room she decorated. “I love that John’s art is edgy but not over the top. It’s also great that most of his pieces are functional – from tables to wine racks to candle holders and coat racks.”
Watch John at work creating a wine rack in his studio. Contact Leona to help you select just the right John Hendry sculpture to complement your decor. His wine racks and candle holders are perfect holiday gifts to give.

Love the site and was so excited to see the article about John Hendry and his art! I have a coat rack designed and crafted by him and always get positive comments when people see it in my hallway for the first time.
Great article about John. I have one of his wine racks in my home, and have given several of them as gifts. Every time I’ve done so, I’ve received great comments and sincere thanks. Each of his designs are unique and make a very special gift.
I can’t say enough good things about John Hendry. My wife and I have four significant pieces of his in our home and John’s metal art is one of the those things we are collecting piece by piece. All hold places of honor in our house and when we have people over for parties, etc., John’s artwork is always a great topic of conversation. Glad that John is a featured artist! Outstanding choice!
Great article and video! We have a coat rack, a wine rack and 3 candle holders in our home that are always complimented on by our guests. We live in Buffalo and haven’t come across work as unique as John’s. We have given coat racks and wine racks as wedding gifts to many of our friends and they are always extremely grateful.
I met John a few years back at Homearama and have been in contact with him ever since. What a great person to work with and I have purchased a number of his pieces. There is also some of his work at my restaurant, Hicks & McCarthy for purchase. All his contact info is available here, stop in and take a look. I highly recommend John!
John does such phenominal work! I wanted to get my wife a gift for a recent promotiom she had recieved at work. I had seen the article in the paper about John and thought about a wine rack. I had gotten in touch with John through his web site and he was quick to respond. We had discussed what I was looking for. John asked me a couple questions, how tall of a wine rack?, where it was going? and how many bottles? I can’t begin to tell you how impressed I was when I picked up my wine rack. John Hendry is truely an artist! My wife was so impressed by his work we will be having John make another unique piece of art in the future!
Great article! I am an artist myself and John and I have been collaborating for the past few years. He does great work and our collaborations have received a great deal of attention. You can see our work at Peoples Pottery in Pittsford! We also do custom commissions.
