Glenda pursued her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting at Texas Christian University (TCU). [3] As a student there, she won first place in a national intercollegiate painting competition and graduated magna cum laude with honors in 1967. [1] Continuing her education, Glenda obtained an M.A. in art history from Tulane University in 1970, with her thesis focusing on French Gothic sculpture. [1] [2] During her period as an M.A. student, she held a three-year Kress fellowship, taught art history, and was curator of collections for the Newcomb College art department. She also worked at Fort Worth's Kimbell Art Museum as a research assistant to the institution's director from 1968–1969. [2]
Glenda's painting career as began seriously in 1970 following graduation from her M.A. program. She had established herself as a leading portrait painter and realist by the time she joined the art department at the University of Oklahoma (from 1972-1976) to teach art history and serve as a guest artist on faculty. [2] [1]
Glenda has had her work displayed on exhibition in the United States at the Museum of the Southwest, Midland Texas (1975), Museum of Art, University of Oklahoma, Norman (1975), Oklahoma Museum of Art, Oklahoma City (1976), Philbrook Art Center, Tulsa (1978), the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of the City of New York, and Williams College Museum of Art. [4] [2] Beginning in 1980, Glenda's prints were published and distributed by Bruce McGaw Graphics of NYC. [2] From 1986–1987, the Oklahoma Art Center in Oklahoma City honored Glenda with a retrospective of her paintings and portraits. [5] In 1998 she had a show at the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art.

It was during her creation of an inspired painting of Christ, The Lamb and The Lion, in 1992 [8] that she turned to spiritual writing. Glenda has said that before the fall of 1991, when she was asked to paint a portrait of Jesus Christ, she had not considered the possibility of designating an exclusive spiritual purpose to any of her works. [8]
She is now a public speaker on spirituality and lives in Fort Worth, Texas. [4] [1]
The Last Supper is a mural painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, dated to c. 1495–1498, housed in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. The painting represents the scene of the Last Supper of Jesus with the Twelve Apostles, as it is told in the Gospel of John – specifically the moment after Jesus announces that one of his apostles will betray him. Its handling of space, mastery of perspective, treatment of motion and complex display of human emotion has made it one of the Western world's most recognizable paintings and among Leonardo's most celebrated works. Some commentators consider it pivotal in inaugurating the transition into what is now termed the High Renaissance.

In 2017–18, the two museums held an exhibition of them.
