About Glenda Green
With paintings in such important collections as the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of the City of New York, and Williams College Museum of Art, Glenda Green has for many years been considered one of
America's finest realist oil painters. Her thriving and extensive career began in 1967 when she graduated magna cum laude with honors in painting from Texas Christian University. Continuing in her academic preparation, she obtained an M.A. in art history from Tulane University in 1970. There she held a three-year Kress fellowship, taught art history on the faculty, and was curator of collections for the Newcomb College art department. During a portion of this period (1968-69) she worked at Fort Worth's Kimbell Art Museum as Research Assistant to the institution's first director. These extra dimensions of preparation and competency would prove invaluable to her painting career, which began to seriously flower by 1971. By the time she joined the art department of the University of Oklahoma in 1972, she had established herself--among many of the nation's leading scholars, critics, and museum officials--as one of the world's foremost portrait painters.
As her creative style emerged into full character, it was marked by intuitive spirituality, profound subjective feeling, evocative color, and exquisite craftsmanship. Starting in 1980, her prints were published and distributed by Bruce McGaw Graphics of NYC, through which they were established in the national and international marketplace. Today, her original paintings are housed in major collections throughout the United States.
She is also the bestselling author of “Love Without End, Jesus Speaks”, and “The Keys of Jeshua.” Much of her time in recent years has been devoted to public speaking, where her warm, witty and confident manner evokes in the listener an inner certainty of his own higher awareness. With a clean energetic style, and masterful comprehension of the most critical spiritual issues, she offers the listener an exceptional opportunity to acquire a truer, more complete understanding of the universe and his own place in it.
