[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.

[6] More than 20% of her work is now owned by museums such as the Louvre, the British Museum, the Hermitage, and the Prado. [2] [7]
Although Glenda has been praised for her work in pencil, pen, and lithography, her preferred medium is oil painting. Her painting technique is known for its detailed realism and expressive brush work, which communicates both energy and luminosity.
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]
