Henry’s exploration of grand, geometric abstraction made her one of the most important women painters of her generation. Her style of formalism foregrounded beauty over novelty, in an attempt to distill contemporary art to its deepest, most significant form. Henry’s work is in the collections of the Seattle Art Museum, Tacoma Art Museum, Portland Art Museum, Institute of Design IIT, Microsoft, Safeco, and Amgen, among many others.
