About the Artist:

Jenny Henley is an Atlanta based fine artist working with a methodology that embraces sculptural practices in a two-dimensional mixed-media framework. Typically, Henley uses socially recognizable imagery, appropriate for an audience familiar with contemporary notions of art; yet fused to a slightly nostalgic sensibility.

My original photographs are transferred in archival pigments onto hand-built poplar substrates, then carefully enhanced with paint. It's a process that allows me the immediacy and implied narrative inherent to photography, wed to the gestural connotations of paint. That I work on panel allows me to create a stable object that is inert and will retain its depth and nuance for years to come.

Henley has won prestigious awards including Women in Design at ELLE DECOR and Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum and has been a part of Atlanta's art community organizations being one of the original founders of i45 and is the founder of the First Friday Art Walk Marietta Square.
