Henrimae's Bio:

Henrimae H. Bell was born in Cordele, Georgia and grew up in both Cordele and Fort Myers, Florida. She spent her professional life with her husband, Dale, in New Rochelle, New York (Westchester County). She has had a long career with IBM Corporation and was a dedicated Deacon at Grace Baptist Church, Mount Vernon, New York. Henrimae now resides in Indialantic, Florida and Cordele, Georgia.

During her career at IBM, Henrimae gained excellent management skills and worldwide travel experience (leading a worldwide team which spanned across the United States, France, Germany, United Kingdom, and Asia). Since retiring, she continues to travel internationally throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, and the South Seas. Her works reflect her travel and interaction with various cultures.

Henrimae’s artist palette is multi-media, focusing on watercolor, oils, and mixed media works. She is the founder of “Reflections by Henrimae,” offering elegant and unique products that incorporate her designs and creations of art. You can find “Reflections by Henrimae” art and products in several Art Galleries and Interior Design Shops in Westchester County, New York; Melbourne, Florida; Sebastian, Florida; and St. Helena Island, South Carolina.

She has studied with several very well-known artists: traditional art in Florence, Italy with Professor Andrew Lattimore, Professor Stan Lapper at Iona College in New Rochelle, New York and at the Westchester Art Center in White Plains, New York, and contemporary art at the Brevard Art Center and Museum in Melbourne, Florida with world famous Dutch Artist, Frits Van Eeden.

Henrimae attended Albany State University in Albany, Georgia, holds a BS from Iona College and a certificate in Graduate Business Management from Pace University in New York.

Artist Statement:
The passion to express myself though the visual arts has always laid at the surface of my existence.
 An existence that has reached an extraordinary level because I have been blessed with the ability to be used by the arts. I am guided by the spirits of my faith, my mother and my God
The arts provides me an amazing canvas where a life lived and a life imagined are allowed to coexist. 
It is my prayer that those who view my art are blessed by my expressions of love, inheritance and faith.
