Biography

Richard Glenn is a Portland-based artist working primarily in kiln-formed glass.

For more than 15 years, he worked in the advertising field. A visit to the Pilchuck Glass School in 1990 started his exploration into the world of art glass. In 2001 he began working full-time as an artist and has quickly established a reputation for his unique work.
