Glenda was born and raised in Canada and has been painting on feathers for over ten years now.  She has taken the idea, which has been done by Native Americans for hundreds of years, and expanded on the process by using a combination of techniques to protect and preserve these fine works of art.  She first selects goose or turkey feathers that are suitable for her paintings and uses special cleaning agents on them.  Then she uses various glues and sealants to preserve the shape or create feather combination desired for her preferred canvas.  Some of her paintings are quite elaborate, needing multiple feathers to acquire the desired size.  She then uses acrylic & oil paints to create her exquisite paintings.  After she has completed her painting, she then sprays the entire piece with a sealant to protect and preserve.
