GLYNNIS REED

“The fact that many girls and women are suffering today due to violations, abuse, and assault at the hands of individuals who have the intent to exploit and inflict horror and harm inspires me in my need to create art that can heal and restore others.”

“My need to represent women in my work is tightly woven into my personal history and an identity that has been greatly affected by violence. It is important to me to depict the self- confidence, frailty, and fragility of girls and women in my art. This reflects the dynamic interplay of strength and weakness and shadow and light that I see in myself and in other girls and women.”
