Early life and education
editGlenn received a BFA degree in painting from the California College of the Arts in 2008. She later earned an MFA degree in painting from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2012.[3]
Career
editGlenn often begins her work with source material found online. Her process involves a “translation…from jpeg to painting” in which Glenn flattens and extracts elements in broad strokes from the reference image.[4] Her paintings recall image compressions that occur when a digital image travels from screen to screen––each painting shifts in tone, texture, or scale. Artforum describes Glenn’s work as “nostalgic yet eerily placeless”.[5]
