Born in 1953 in Winnipeg, Glenn knew from an early age that he'd pursue a career in art. His childhood passion for drawing and creativity have endured and developed into a career that has spanned over a quarter century.

     A Baby Boomer himself, he draws inspiration for his art from his own experiences of growing up in the peaceful postwar years in Canada. The second oldest of nine children, he spent a lot of time drawing everything from cartoons to sports heroes and musicians from the sixties.

     Today, he admits being heavily influenced by the detail and precision of Canadian artists like Ken Danby and Alex Colville as well as American illustrators such as Mark English, Paul Calle and Bernie Fuchs as well as the old master illustrators Maxfield Parrish and Norman Rockwell.

     In 1989 he became supervisor of the Winnipeg Free Press Advertising Art department and today is the Creative Director of the Special Projects and Marketing Department. As an artist, Glenn is currently pursuing his own style of nostalgic urban scenes with a decidedly contemporary feel.
