Sculptured Leather
In the mid 1980’s, while living aboard a sailboat in Sarasota, Glenda developed Sculptured Leather Jewelry. She sold it in juried art shows throughout southern Florida and had her own shop “Uniquely Yours” in a mall in Sarasota. Her work has gone worldwide. She coined the phrases “wearable/wallable”, and “wearable/sit-abouts” to describe her work. Glenda’s work is all original, hand formed and brush painted with acrylic paints.
Glenda's work is unique and her Demonstration with painting on leather is fascinating and demonstrates what can be done with a little imagination and a lot of talent. So, join us for this different approach to art and let Glenda show what can be done with an innovative and personal approach to Art.
