Henrietta is the founder and owner of Galerie Ora-Ora, one of the leading galleries in Hong Kong for Chinese and Western contemporary art. Since inception, Ora-Ora has grown to manage over 30 veteran artists from around the world including Barcelona, London, New Mexico, Sydney, Manila, Singapore, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and China. The gallery curates state-of-the-art exhibitions in Hong Kong and Beijing approximately once every 2-months.

However, Henrietta’s background has not always been in art. Before she took up her passion in art, she spent 11 years in the banking industry with Citigroup and HSBC, with specialization in corporate finance, public sector, real estate and top-tiers local corporations. Henrietta also holds an MBA degree from Kellogg Business School, Northwestern University, and undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Economics from Queens University. Throughout her childhood, she was immersed in art and French and was trained in different media including oils, pastel and sketching.

Due to her unique background in business and art, she has been invited many times to speak and write internationally on issues relating to the art market, its investments, valuation, and development outlook. Panels invited include:
