Cody Hendley

Cody Hendley is an author and illustrator based in a quiet corner of northwestern Connecticut. Surrounded by the charm and eccentricity of small-town New England, he finds endless inspiration in the local characters who bring his community—and his stories—to life. His work blends imagination with a deep appreciation for the offbeat, often reflecting the strange and wonderful world just outside his door. When he’s not writing or sketching, he’s observing the everyday oddities that make small-town life so rich with storytelling potential.
