Glenda Lang

Glenda grew up with an artist mother (see her mom’s work in the thumbnails to the left) and inventor father. She studied art history and painting with mom and learned to work with her hands early. From winning a Halloween poster contest in the 5^th grade to becoming an established graphics professional in several fields including advertising and publishing to independent video production. Along the way, Glenda continued to sketch and paint, producing her art in various mediums for an appreciative audience. From charcoal anatomical studies to seascapes in oils and now acrylics. Her work includes designing jewelry and crafting large underwater mosaics.

For aerospace engineers and scientists, she created and published Space Dimensions magazine during the moonshot era. In North Carolina, she created and published Look at Western North Carolina, a bi-monthly visitor guide that became a favorite at hotels and Welcome Centers. She also holds copyright to an anatomical horse poster in use by schools and colleges.

As a lover of woods, fields, streams, the sea, sun and sky, moving to western North Carolina several years ago was the right decision for this adventurous outdoor gal. Glenda brings her love of their colors and sensations to all her work. Her latest style reflects musings on nature with a slightly surreal bent. Currently waiting for a knee replacement, she stays busy at her studio in Union Mills, North Carolina, and looks forward to a showing of her new collection in Asheville next year.

Artist Comment: The works on display are the first two of my new collection which is based on the sun and moon and their influence on us. The sun is magnetic. I will be showing some of the magnetic lines and colors you might see were you to look at the sun through a spectroscope or other instrument. Ancients worshipped the sun and kept track of its movements. 93-million miles from us, yet two percent either way (sun intensity up or down) and we would not be here. Tick-Tock, painted in 2019 is to remind us of how we are limiting our time on earth by contributing to global warming via petroleum and toxic chemical use. ($1200.) 24 x30 on 1/2-inch stretcher. Reflections also painted in 2019, shows how some of the magnetic lines might look as reflections. ($950.) 24 x30 on 1-1/2-inch stretcher. I’m using the name GLANG on current works.
