Henry paints portraits and figures in ochre, umber and blue glaze on ceramic tiles. After thirty years as an illustrator in London he moved to Almaty and turned fully to ceramics. His studies of faces are slow works that take him several months each.
Henry works slowly, with several months between the first sketch and the last layer of glaze on each tile. He keeps old sketches from his years in London in his Almaty studio and returns to them when a face needs a fresh start.
