Glenda Brown is a portrait painter who works in the French Academic tradition. Her portraits have been described as remarkably lifelike, so much so that people on the canvas seem to breathe. Her masterful use of light and shadow is especially effective in capturing the personality of her subject. She maintains freshness and a wonderful spontaneity in her work, which makes each portrait appear to have just happened. This great talent enables Glenda to personalize your portrait, with consideration of your ideas and tastes, so that the finished work of art is how you - her valued client - envision your Heirloom Portrait.

Her formal training came from The Contemporary Realist Academy (four and one-half years of atelier training), Universite D'Angers in Angers France (located just North of Paris), Memphis College of Art, and The University of Memphis.

Glenda is an active member of The American Society of Portrait Artists (received Grand Prize in 1997), The Portrait Society of America, The Portrait Society of Atlanta, Inc., The National League of American Pen Women, and Tennessee Professional Photographers Association.

Her work can be found in collections nationwide including Universities, Corporate Collections, and Prestigious Private Collections.
