Belynda Henry Biography

A three time finalist in the Wynne Prize for Landscape (2000, 2013, 2015) and with her practice continuing to build a beautiful momentum, Henry is inspired by the Australian landscape and her home on the Central Coast of NSW. Henry showcases her adventurous and inspired use of colour through textured rolling hills, pristine azure lakes and pastel skies. Belynda Henry will be exhibiting her first solo exhibition ‘Distance’ at FLG from 30 August - 17 September 2016.

My everyday fascination with the Australian landscape and nature fuels the images that I paint. Living in a long valley which I drive through daily and draw inspiration from, I constantly and automatically gather views and flashes of moments and images I see.
While not attempting to paint a clear representation of area I lives in, I take parts from everywhere. Then, much like a jigsaw, I reassemble these flashes and memories into a mostly imagined and emotional interpretation of the beauty that surrounds me. Belynda Henry 2015.
