Henry Petersen

Beauty All Around Us

Henry Petersen is an award winning artist whose works are held in private collections worldwide. Henry’s interest in traditional drawing and painting led him to enrolling in a prominent art school in New York where he studied for four years. He took night classes, weekend classes and workshops as he simultaneously worked full time.

He has exhibited at numerous juried shows and invitational exhibitions, and has won several awards. Taking what he learned he has applied it to the digital arts. Technology has always fascinated him and in it he has found the perfect marriage of art and technology.

“I feel that painting is a means to capture the human spirit and at the same time reflect who I am. If you can capture a moment that touches your heart or stirs feelings within you, you will touch another’s heart. I am drawn to the rural landscapes of northeastern Pennsylvania and the natural beauty of New England; quiet, often mundane places, overlooked.”
