About the Artist

Henry Von Genk, III was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida and resides with his family in Atlantic Beach. Henry has been an accomplished artist for twenty-four years.

His love for Florida’s waterways and salt marshes of the Southeast coastline is evident in all his paintings.

Henry was invited by a jury to be one of the artists for the Southeastern Wildlife Expo in Charleston S.C. 2009, 2010, 2011 and now for the upcoming 2012 show. His works are owned by private collectors across the country, as well as internationally, and include many well-known celebrities and major corporations.

Henry made four trips to the Deland area to find the perfect St. Johns River location for his painting, "Our River of Life." He finally chose an area near Hontoon Island in Volusia County. Henry worked on this masterpiece for several months in the spring, and completed the painting in early June.
