Glenna Adkins

Glenna Adkins, whose artwork hangs in residences and businesses throughout the country, received her Fine Arts degree from University of Cincinnati’s college of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning. Glenna’s work evokes a sense of calm with her rich color palette and soft contemporary approach to mixed media painting. The basis of her style and influences are modern design and color harmony. The use of mixed media allows flexibility in her technique with each piece. Typically, a base color is laid on canvas or board with acrylic paint using a palette knife and soft pastel is blended in. Many layers of this combined media may be applied to achieve the desired effect. Glenna’s studio and exhibit space is at Pendleton Art Center of Cincinnati, the area’s largest concentrated group of artists. She has participated in numerous top rated art fairs and festivals as well as gallery exhibits and has won many awards for her work.
