Erin Henry is the Atlanta-based oil painter whose work extends past the canvas; her practice is rooted in giving back to the community and supporting marginalized groups. As a classically trained French horn player, she taps into her studio creativity by soundtracking her practice to composers like Hector Berlioz or Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. We spoke with the painter about what tools she loves, her most challenging projects, and her manifestations. (If you’re in Atlanta – make sure to check out her murals.)
