background

Henrie was born (July 1964) and raised in the south of England. As a child, she wanted to be a painter, like her mother. However, after failing the entrance exam for art school, she went on to study French, Italian and Art history at the University of Kent, in Canterbury.

She left the UK after graduating to live in Paris with her future husband, with whom she has two daughters. She worked in English language training, translation and freelance journalism. She created a photography business in 2017 and wrote essays for the feminist magazine Foto Femme United, throughout 2021.

During the pause imposed by the Covid pandemic, she decided to return to her teenage ambition and applied to art school. She is currently attending the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Versailles, France, as a mature student. She will graduate in 2024.
