Glenda Maynard

I was born in the East End of London. In 1990 moved down to Somerset to settle in the city of Wells after a long secretarial career in the City and West End of London.

Several years later in 2004 started to dabble with acrylic paints as a hobby. After visiting an exhibition run by The Old Bakery Artists in Radstock I decided to join them and have not stopped painting since. I have exhibited at many venues, shops, restaurants, galleries, hospitals and have taken many commissions.

I would describe myself as a compulsive traditional/contemporary artist who is totally self taught and is now working from home part time to complete the commissions coming my way, the latest being from the Mayor of Wells.

I work with oils, watercolour, acrylics, pastels, charcoal and pen & ink.

I love the atmospheric and colourful works of W. Turner, Rolf Harris and
David Shepherd.



TEXTILE SCULPTURES

The framework of each sculpture is hand-crafted and then 'dressed' with fabric creating an individual piece of artwork.
The art medium used makes textiles rock hard and withstands exterior weather conditions such as frost and heat making them ideal for gardens and conservatories.
Each sculpture is seated on either wood, brick, stone, logs, terracotta pots - they measure anything from 6" to 30" in height and prices start from £25 up to approx £200.
