Consistently Inconsistent
A Life Retrospective of Hennie Marsh
11 - 30 March
“Consistently Inconsistent: A Life Retrospective” will be presented by friends of the late painter and visual artist Hennie Marsh from 11 - 30 March at the Window Art Gallery. The exhibition brings together works from Hennie Marsh’s varied and long career in the visual arts and will feature some fifty-five works in photography, watercolour, oil, acrylic, pastel and multi-media created during Ms. Marsh’s impeccably “consistently inconsistent" life in the world of art. Half of the proceeds from the show will be donated to Window Art Gallery/Kingston School of Art.
Born in Holland, Hennie came to Canada at three with her parents and brother. She grew up delightedly roaming the streets of downtown Kingston, already gathering inspiration. Her early interest in art led to classes at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. After she began her career as a teacher she added an Art Specialist Certificate prior to completing her Master’s in Colour Theory.
Hennie’s early focus on colour photography eventually shifted to watercolour, oil, and acrylic painting. Her work could be found in local exhibitions and sales, both on her own and with others. Hennie worked and studied with members of the Kingston Arts Council, Modern Fuel Gallery, KSOA, and the Tett Centre to tirelessly promote the cause of art in Kingston. Shortly before her untimely death, she was active in several local galleries and arts collectives including the Breakwater Gallery in Cape Vincent, NY and the TBA Arts Collective here in Kingston. Her work was shown posthumously in 2021 as part of the Masked Bandits Collective’s Art Unmasked, which she had co-founded.
