Born and raised on Sydney’s northern beaches, Glenda studied painting at the University of Wollongong in 2006 earning her Bachelor of Creative Arts, and further studies achieving a Graduate Diploma in Secondary Education. Her career has woven together roles as a visual artist, ceramist, teacher and Art Educator at Arthur Boyd’s Bundanon Trust.
She has exhibited widely, with solo and group exhibitions throughout her career, and her paintings are held in private collections across Australia.
In 2020, Glenda and her husband David (himself a graphic designer) made a new home on the Sunshine Coast. Her recent work revisits the images and emotions of times past. Centred on the human figure, these paintings explore relationships, memory, and the quiet elegance of mid-century life. Stylish fashions, poised gestures, and atmospheric scenes linger in her frames like moments caught and gently paused, holding both beauty and mystery.
Over the years, Glenda has been represented by numerous galleries. She has featured as Artist in Residence at Arthur Boyds’ Bundanon Trust, and as a Finalist in the Merrogal Women’s Art Prize. She is also a recipient of the Shoalhaven Arts Board Award and has had work acquired by the Berry Alexander Collection, (selected by Tim Fisher, notable curator of the NSW Art Gallery).
