Marilyn Henrion

Born in 1932 in New York City, Marilyn Henrion is a graduate of Cooper Union who is represented in the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art . Her works are included in five major museums and numerous corporate, government and private collections internationally. As a life-long New Yorker, Henrion's aesthetic vision has always been deeply rooted in the urban geometry of her surroundings, from the earlier geometric abstractions to the more recent mixed media works. She is particularly interested in the co-existence of past and present, especially in architecture and other man-made structures. The presence of the human hand upon the landscape expresses our eternal yearning for immortality, evidence that says “I was once here”. Much as Edward Hopper did in the 20th century, she synthesizes and transforms the “facts” of the material world to reflect her experience of a particular place. In 2022, at the age of 90, Henrion relocated to Plano Texas where she continues to produce and exhibit new works. Inspired by her new surroundings, which now includes the natural world, her subject matter continues to expand, along with refinement of process. .
