Glen tries to capture the essence of Cornwall on canvas. She has painted for many years and works swiftly to achieve a first but lasting impression. Her style is vigorous and confident and she enjoys experimenting with both abstract and figurative art. Her use of rich glazes gives her work great depth.
" Pounding waves, a stormy sky and windswept moors inspire me just as much as golden beaches and blue seas. My paintings are impressionist rather than faithfully representative. Sometimes a few strokes will evoke the spirit of the landscape, at other times the image will build slowly using layers of textured paint almost sculpted onto the canvas. Oil paints and palette knives are my preferred tools in trying to translate what I see into what I feel and capture the mood of the ever-changing drama of the Cornish Landscape."
