Born in Yorkshire & having lived in the Canary Islands & the French Alps, Henrie is Inspired largely by a love of vast expanses of nature and her varying surroundings, be it huge impressive skies, the coast, mountains, landscapes and sunsets. A keen photographer, she records everything she sees on camera and brings it back to her studio to draw inspiration from.

Henrie's continual exploration of colour, depth & light, results in an eclectic series of paintings brimming with passion and energy.

A prolific exhibitor in numerous galleries across UK & well known for her private & corporate commissions, She paints across several canvas' at any one time, on various series of paintings: Landscape / abstract & decoupage. Painting mainly with oils, mixed with lots of linseed oil & Scumble glaze to create the fluid application to the canvas'. Trademark to Haldanes work are her deep stretchers, with the painting following around the sides, unframed , the canvas' allow a sense of freedom, leaving the composition unconstrained like a natural landscape, encouraging the viewer to make their own interpretations of the subject matter. From initial photographic research to canvas, Henrie covers the blank canvas' with colour & initially, rarely knows which direction the composition will take, the paintings are all from her imagination....... Subsequently, a layering effect is applied to each painting, scraping off sections and re-applying, slowly building up layers of colour until the painting takes its direction. Through constant re-working, the reaction between Oil & Water based mediums, results in acquiring an immense sense of depth and atmosphere .
