ABOUT GLYNNIS REED!

An accomplished professional visual artist, she has exhibited her artwork widely in the U.S. and internationally. She is currently a dual title doctoral degree student in Art Education and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at The Pennsylvania State University. Reed has two decades of experience as an art educator, working as a teaching artist, K-12 art teacher, museum educator, and university instructor.
