The Essence of Glenn Wallace
My life to date has included raising a family, careers in nursing and social work
and living in metropolitan, urban and rural communities.
Weaving, shaping and designing were expressed in positions of management and
organization of people.
As I began experimenting with painting, what surfaced on the paper
were composites of my life experiences.
I began to paint from the "soul".
The colours, shapes and harmony seemed to reveal the layers and processes
essential to my story.
What you see on paper mirrors something of my essence and
may reflect something of yours.
MY MANTRA
‘Be warned against the possible harmful effects of group activity,
the threat to originality that results from inevitable comparisons with others,
which torment the painter, bring her to change her manner,
and throw her into a harmful preoccupation with technical procedures.
One needs a lot of talent or great confidence not to be influenced
and sidetracked by different ways of seeing, feeling,
and expressing by those among whom one works.’
Frederic Henriet
My work has been part of several shows and
is found in private collections in Canada and the US.
One piece has been selected for a poetry book cover.
