For some reason I view Glenn's work as simple and complex at the same time. The idea is straightforward--oval mosaics in multiple colours. But because of the content of his materials, each piece has nuances that make it much more entertaining and thought-provoking.

Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.
A: Full of little surprises and always worth a second look.

Q: What do you like to work with (magazines, photographs, vintage)? Be specific!
A: I always gravitate towards vintage textbooks from the 1950's, 60's and 70's which I primary find at thrift stores locally or whenever I travel. I also incorporate magazine clippings, worksheets, book jackets... basically anything made of paper.

Q: How long have you been creating collages and what made you start?
A: I started moving towards collage (via mixed-media) around 2002, though in the last 2 years the process has evolved into what I would now call traditional collage. More of a cut and paste approach. I primarily started working in collage because it was cost effective and the access to materials seemed endless. I also enjoyed how the medium allowed me to use line, shape, color and especially text in ways I wasn't able to before.

Q: Are you solely an artist, or do you work in another profession?
A: I consider myself to have dual careers--one as a collage artist and the other as a manager at a law firm.

Q: Do you have any formal art training?
A: I received a BA in Art from AASU, attended art classes at SCAD and the Corcoran School of Art as well. I also have an MA from NYU in Education.
