Troy Henricksen - The American in Paris

Troy Henriksen is an American artist of Norwegian descent, born in 1962 in New Bedford, Massachusetts. He lives and works in Paris. His parents, Norwegian immigrants, arrived in the United States in 1953. His father attended art school and founded his own fishing company. In the 1980s, following the family tradition, Troy combined his profession as a fisherman with his love of art. He sailed the waters of Moby Dick for about fifteen years. Between fishing adventures, he left everything behind to devote himself to painting. He embarked on a road trip and fell in love with Paris. He has been there ever since.
