Retiree ReInventions
About us now - what we're doing, talents we share with the world, etc.

Honored by the Smithsonian Institution by inclusion in The Archives of American Art, her work has been exhibited throughout the world and is included in major corporate, museum and private collections such as the Museum of Art and Design in NY, the U.S. Embassy in Pnom Penh, Cambodia, Lucent Technologies, Avaya Corporation, etc. Henrion has had 12 solo exhibitions to date, most recently at Noho Gallery in Chelsea, at Fieldstone Fine Art Gallery in Ramsey NJ, and at the Columbus Art Museum in Ohio.

Stepping away from our department leadership responsibilities in 1991, we have continued to consult through our company, TFI Geomarketing. The American Marketing Association, NYAMA, calls upon us to judge the EFFIE international marketing communications awards. We are writing books for Visual Reference Publications on branding strategy and marketing communications. These include Brandstand, 2002 and The Power of Retail Branding, 2006. We also write articles for and serve as editorial directors of Retail Ad World. It has been an adventure of learning to conduct a series of international seminars throughout China for the China Advertising Association and with FIT at ZIFT in Hongzhou and Dong Hua in Shanghai; with Moscow State University and the Fashion Consulting Group in Moscow, Russia. We have continued our teaching in FIT's Center for Professional Studies, helping to develop the Retail Experience Management Certificate Program.
Our passion project has been to introduce Yael Neuwirth, Art's cousin from Israel, and her internationally known paintings to more people in the USA. You can see her portfolios at the website we helped design www.artisraelyael.com
