Glynnis Reed

The Spirit of Our Nature includes digital collages from my series Ascending Beauty and a selection of photos from my series Nature Abstractions. Ascending Beauty is composed of portraits of Black women who have made great imprints on my life and consciousness. I seek to honor their presence through these images that highlight their beauty and individuality. I have created images of myself, family members, and friends. Each woman radiates an exquisite glow. Some project a daring aura of sensuousness, others display splendid angelic countenances. It is important to me that I create a dynamic representation of Black women’s beauty that is rarely seen in popular culture. I create images for those who crave to see reflections of themselves in fine art.

I have exhibited my work extensively at the local, national, and international levels. A solo exhibition of my photography and collages was featured at the Kunstraum Arcade Gallery in Moedling, Austria. My work has been on view at the DePaul University Museum in “Double Exposure: African Americans Before and Behind the Camera,”
which traveled across the United States. The galleries and museums that have shown my work include the African American Museum of Philadelphia; the Museum of the African Diaspora, San Francisco, CA; Craft and Folk Art Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Main Line Art Center, Haverford, PA; Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena, CA; the
University of Detroit Mercy, Detroit, MI; the Noyes Museum of Art, Oceanville, NJ; Allens Lane Art Center, Philadelphia, PA; Richard Stockton University Art Gallery,Pomona, NJ; Noyes Arts Garage, Atlantic City, NJ; Ocean City Arts Center, Ocean City, NJ; Asian Arts Initiative, Philadelphia, PA; and the Laguna Art Museum, Laguna Beach, CA. I am a recipient of the “Visions From the New California” award and was awarded
artist residencies with AIR Krems in Krems, Austria and Djerassi Resident Artists Program in Woodside, California. I hold a MFA in Studio Art from the University of California, Irvine.
