Artist Bio
Caroline Henry has always enjoyed drawing, using it as a design tool, adding to letters
in the snail mail days, illustrating writing journals, or helping get an idea across when
she taught English to beginning students from a multitude of primary language
backgrounds. In the early 1990s a workshop for teachers on using art to enhance
lessons in subject area classes triggered an interest in watercolor painting. Thereafter
she began making art and getting a informal arts education through classes and
workshops, art instruction books, time spent in galleries and museums and lots of
practice. She began to enter local open shows and juried shows in the late 1990s and
has won awards in the Tracy Expressions Show, Lodi Art Center Spring Show, Delicato
Show, Sacramento Fine Arts Center’s Animal House Show, Carnegie Art Centers Farm
and Field Show, and others. She is a member of Lodi Community Art Center, Stockton
Art League, and National League of Pen Women. Her work is regularly shown at the
Lodi Art Center Gallery and the Goodwin Gallery.

About the Show
In Stockton we are lucky enough to be surrounded a lush valley that produces abundant
agricultural crops, while still living only a reasonable drive across flat miles that soon
rise to the coastal range and finally down one or another of the steep winding roads that
drop to the wide blue Pacific. I often feel myself pulled toward the coast both as a nature
loving person and an artist. This show is all about love for the ocean shore and its
denizens.
