Belynda Henry as a multiple Wynne and Archibald prize finalist is one of Australia’s leading landscape painters. She is also a member of Australian Watercolour Society.

Reception

Henry is known for her 'evocative paintings' and her works have been exhibited over 30 solo shows. The Age recently included her in the feature story, ‘Seven Artists You Should Invest in Now’. In 2019 Henry has been featured in Thames & Hudson’s tome, ‘A Painted Landscape’ – featuring the works of landscape artists including, Elizabeth Cummings, John Olsen, Ann Thompson, Rick Amor among other notable landscape painters. Most recently in a sell-out show in New York, a majority of her works were acquired by style arbiter and collector Christian Louboutin.

Notable works

In 2020 Henry's solo exhibition at the Australian Galleries featured the sounds of recorded bird calls from around the artist's studio as well as a suspended sculptural installation by floral artist Tracey Deep. The exhibition To Paint Is To Love was reported to be a 'sensory and immersive experience' for the audiences as Vogue mentioned, "Henry is creating an immersive show that will capture the sounds and sights of her rural Central Coast studio to give visitors a sense of where her pieces are formed and how she works".
