Her work is typically thematic in nature\, but ties together through personal symbolic imagery.\n\n\n\nHenslee writes in her artist statement that the human experience is filled with great joy and great trauma and art should reflect that. "My work is steeped in emotion\, but makes use of kitschy elements as a contrast to the seriousness\, because what is life without humor? The artistic approach I take is an 'any means possible' attitude when it comes to the media I use\," she says.\n\n\n\nHenslee relocated to Dubuque\, Iowa\, in 2020\, from her hometown of Chicago. At the age of two\, she decided she wanted to be an artist and spent her formative years obsessively drawing the Pegasus and other equine forms. In 1999 she spent a year in Helsinki attending a fine arts high school and then continued her arts education at Washington University in St. Louis where she studied printmaking\, German and art history. She has worked as a graphic designer\, primarily in book and catalog design.
