Episode 211: Amarilys Henderson

On the podcast this week we chat with local creative Amarilys Henderson. This entrepreneur was born in Puerto Rico but has lived all over the US and the world from Dallas, to DC, to Savannah, and China before moving to Rochester with her family. Amarilys has always had an interest in art, spurred by her love for Disney movies. In the conversation today we talk about her journey with art, including time spent with animation, illustration, print design, surface design, and painting, the evolution of her watercolor devotionals, and her brand new book coming out this spring.
