GLENDA STONE, jewelry, painting, textile, feather artist

Nebraska native who grew up in Omaha, Glenda has been surrounded by craftsmen and artists since birth. Given a free moment she has always preferred to work with her hands, creating something that she and others could enjoy.

“I seem to eat, sleep and dream art. It’s a rare moment when I’m not contemplating my next painting or wearable art design. My mother used to tell me that I would wear out my hands.”

Since her college years at the University of Nebraska, Glenda has worked in several styles and mediums. The creative process has seen her paintings evolve from photo realism to a mix of realism and a more painterly and expressive statement. By incorporating feathers and found objects, viewers are able to bring their own interpretations and memories to her visual story. Her jewelry style combines many bead techniques reminiscent of Native American influence.

“As time passes, I hope to share what I see as my spiritual journey through the Nebraska and South Dakota landscapes.”
