'Henrietta's work is among the most refreshing and satisfying painting that I have seen. Her observation of both the minutiae and the big picture is penetrating and honest, whether it be a sweeping night landscape or a bird's nest. Her work contains considerable rigour, it is never overworked. A major strength is her ability to capture mood and atmosphere. A combination of solid training, raw talent and years of experience are necessary to produce work of such quality.'
2016 Sean Kelly. Curator, Writer and Arts Officer, MAC, TAS.
