Henderson was born in Glasgow, Scotland.  He apprenticed as a lithographer (1887-1894) while studying evenings at the Glasgow School of Art.  He worked as a lithographer in London, England (1894-1909) before coming to Regina, Saskatchewan in 1910 where he worked as a commercial artist and portrait painter.  He later moved to the Qu'Appelle Valley in 1916 where he lived until 1951 when he moved to Victoria, British Columbia.  Working in oil, watercolour, charcoal, gouache and lithography, he painted the Saskatchewan landscape and detailed native portraits, especially the Cree, Assiniboine and Sioux (1924-30).  He is also known for his portraits of Regina political and legal figures and his views of the Rocky Mountains (1926) and Victoria, British Columbia.  He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Saskatchewan in 1951.
