Glen is a collage artist and professional creative director. He is from Louisiana, but has called Texas his home for many years now. On this episode, we get to hear about the space where Glenn works in Dallas and how important it has been for him as a creative.

With a background in design, cutting paper and arranging visuals comes naturally to Glen. He is inspired by themes of time travel and nostalgia, using elements of his childhood to create scenes and juxtaposition.

Being introverted by nature, Glen tells us about the challenges of sharing his artwork with others. As he actively practices telling people about his work, he believes he has grown as an artist and come to understand his own practice on a deeper level. 

We also talk about the benefits of Gallery representation and artist community. Glen tells us about his experience and how these things have shaped him as an artist.
