Inspiration

I have tried so many times to express to my friend, Jessica Torrant,how very thankful I am for her unknowing push for me to jump on the art band wagon after my son, Collin was born. He will be 5 years old on Tuesday and I sometimes cannot believe how far we have all come since his birth. Jessica's encouragement pulled me out of my, what I once believed to be comfortable, suburbia life and into the art world again. I visit her portfolio whenever I get in a funk or sink too deeply into motherhood (now with two beautiful children) and forget where I left off as an artist. Her portfolio is a constant reminder that I can. I really can.


Here are the latest works inspired by Jess. All for sale at www.meghanhenley.etsy.com

Recycling older art!

What a super fun thing to do when I come across old stuff! I have been taking older sketches and paintings while cleaning out my studio and "reworking" them with watercolor pencils and markers. It shows me how far I have come since then and I also see how my style has truly developed since my studies. Very exciting for me!

Aneesah's Art

Hi everyone! Just wanted to point out a new budding artist, Aneesah. She is a friend of mine's daughter. SIX YEARS OLD. Seriously. See how amazing her color usage and choice is as well as her understanding of form and shape. I am still amazed with her work. www.artwanted.com/aneesahsart

Here is a sample.

Thanks all!

Back in the game...

As many of you know, I recently gave birth to my second miracle, Aneliese Blaire Henley. As one might expect, most of my energy has been put into nursing the baby, playing with both kids, snuggling, photogragphing them, and then of course, my least favorite of these things...working.

I did, however, take enough time in the recent weeks to work out some new images I had floating around in my head. Still greatly influenced by Hundertwasser, the images of orbs becoming flowers, becoming buildings, becoming landscapes finally landed successfully on the canvas in these latest works.

SALE at my Etsy Store!!!

I have the following works on SALE at www.meghanhenley.etsy.com for a limited time!!!

Aneliese Blaire has arrived!

Aneliese Blaire Henley was born at 10:27 am on Wed March 14th. She was so sweet to only require 3 pushes and has been an absolute delight since entering the world. She weighed 7 lbs even and was 20 1/2 inches long. Her big brother, Collin could not be more proud and we are all in love with her. Will post more art soon but for now my focus is on our newest arrival!
