 R.E. Henry Gallery Show

In his solo show debut, Ralph Henry delighted everyone with his incredible artwork.  The art show may be over, but some of his works are still available for those who missed it. Be sure to check out his beautiful paintings here. Henry's style is unique; rough and abrasive, yet his works are warm and sentimental. An oil painter with a distinctive view, painting the visions that come to him. Truly the next rising star in the world of fine art!
