Artist’s Bio

Henie Lorant has lived most of her life in greater metropolitan New York, where she studied at Hunter College. Her colorful career history includes research assistant in parapsychology, Rhine Laboratory, Duke University; co-author, Test Your ESP; columnist, Woodstock Times, restaurateur and, most recently, licensed massage therapist. She says she received her art training over several decades—at the “school of hard knocks,” but more recently, her friend and mentor, Joanna Coke, MFA, has been a primary source of instruction and inspiration. The mother of two daughters and five grandchildren, Henie recently relocated to New Paltz, NY with her husband, Adrian, and menagerie of cats and birds. Besides other artists and art enthusiasts, her Hubble-influenced, luminous works on paper appeal to scientists, mathematicians, and spiritual healers.
