Marilyn Henrion


ARTIST STATEMENT


 


A graduate of Cooper Union and a lifelong New Yorker, Marilyn Henrion's  award-winning works have been included in solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout the U.S.  and abroad. The artist transforms  traditional textile forms and techniques into contemporary works of art which are in major corporate, museum, and private collections, including the Museum of Arts & Design in New York, and the U.S. Embassy in Pnom Penh. They   have also been featured in numerous publications, including “Women Designers In The U.S.- 1900-2000”, published in 2001 by Yale University Press. Among the grants she has received, was one awarded in 1996 by The Artslink Partnership, devoted to fostering excellence in the arts between the U.S. and countries of the former Soviet Union. Henrion was honored by the Smithsonian Institution by being invited to submit her papers and sketchbooks for inclusion in the Archives of American Art. In 2005, she was awarded a Fellowship by the New York Foundation for the Arts.
