Lelia Henry

Lelia Henry is an Irish landscape artist based in Co. Westmeath. Her work explores neglected and overlooked elements of the rural landscape. Through her drawings, she examines the relationship between these neglected spaces, and the enduring impact of human activity. Devoid of figures, the implied presence of man is often of central importance. Her concern for the loss of the natural world drives her to create meticulously rendered drawings, through which she offers the viewer a quiet space for reflection in which to consider our relationship to our world around us. She holds an MA in Art and Process from Crawford College of Art, Cork, and has won a number of awards and bursaries, including the Thomas Dammann Junior Memorial Trust Award, Arts Council Travel and Training Award, and Irish Landscape Artist of the Year at the National Open Art Competition, London. She has exhibited at the RHA and the RUA, Mall Galleries, London, Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, and her work is held in numerous public and private collections, including the Office of Public Works.
