Born in London,and  living and working from Maida Vale for most of his working career, Henry exhibited frequently at the RA and at Suffolk Street. Wormleighton mentions him as a non-resident visitor to the Lamorna Valley, but it is not known if he exhibited locally or not.

The artist submitted three paintings to the Whitechapel Exhibition, of Cornish-based artists (1902), from an address in St Ives.
