Representing nature in the form of landscapes is the driving force behind most of my artwork. I am trying to reproduce and re-interpret the great color and the majestic forms that were originally created by God. The 'awesomeness' of our surroundings is the catalyst for my work and I am striving to instill this in the eye of the viewer."
Henning has a studio at her home in Laceyville, PA, and on the Delaware Bay near Milton, DE.
