Glen currently resides in Kansas City, Missouri, near Liberty. He attended Longview and Maplewoods Community Colleges and the Kansas City Art Institute, with his major in Graphic Design.
Glen has worked almost exclusively with the airbrush for over 25 years in a variety of uses that includes photo retouching, graphic design and illustration and fine arts using acrylic oil paints and pigment dyes.
The particular series of paintings exhibited are a culmination of graphic and color experiments I have done attempting to give a three-dimensional quality to basic geometric shapes with the use of color and the airbrush. The airbrush is well suited for rendering objects using soft light and shadow, the technique of “chiaroscuro.”
Ideas for abstract paintings are first "roughed-in" and created in various computer graphic programs, analyzed, and modified until I feel the right combination of shapes and colors work together, then transferred to canvas, masked-off, and airbrushed to color match what was originally created in the computer.
