Cary Henrie
Cary, a mixed media painter and native of Utah, draws inspiration from the weathered sandstone and western surrounding views. Inspiration has been drawn from worn Italian frescoes, Bali, Egypt, Japan and other resonant locales during his travels.
He spends hours layering his canvases with additive and subtractive methods, varnishing, taping and adding paint, burnishing and removing areas of color and plaster. Oils and acrylics, combined with different glazes, create a weathered and cracked patina indicating the essence of time. An essence of peace and calm is the focus of each painting.
Inspiration derived through education at Pratt Institute in New York City and his time spent in New York museums has provided the abstract sensibility in his landscapes.
2012 marks Cary’s third year at the Celebration of Fine Art where he will continue with his highly textured process enhancing the depth and sophistication of each of his works of art. You will be sure to be captivated by his deep and emotional paintings as well as his passion for capturing a moment in time.
