Hank Morehouse is an artist based in Connecticut known for his use of salvaged and reclaimed wood as a basis for sculptural form. Inspired by his New England roots, he explores the relationship between historical handmade materials and modern art. By respecting the originator’s creative handwork and individuality, Henry leverages these materials and infuses them with his contemporary design sensibility. 

      Born in New England in 1952, Henry moved with his family to Havana, Cuba and returned to Connecticut in the aftermath of the Cuban Revolution. He attended Williston Academy in western Massachusetts where the art program, led by Barry Moser, noted illustrator and fine book designer recognized and encouraged his artistic awakening and search for his artistic voice. After graduation he attended The Rhode Island School of Design and in 1978 he moved to New York City to pursue his craft. Following experiences in galleries throughout the city and later as a children’s book illustrator and self-taught architect, he returned to Litchfield Hills with his wife to be back in the studio full-time, where he is currently experimenting with new art forms.
