Glen creates mixed-media art by hand in his Chicago studio, using printed ephemera like fragments of magazines, books, manuals, photos, and documents that carry the memory of their own histories. The vast majority have collected both dust and time. Each fragment is a trace of lived experience: a visual memory that he is privileged to discover and re-imagine.
His work exists at the intersection of memory, geometry, and emotion. The physical nature of paper and printed matter — the edges, typography, worn surfaces — becomes part of the visual language. The created works invite further investigation: moments of intuition, tension, humor, and introspection that emerge without explanation.
Ultimately, his art seeks to evoke a sense of memory made visible. A conversation between fragments of lived experience and the viewer's own internal narratives. Through this layered process, he builds images that, like dreams, are both familiar and enigmatic.
Glen has been featured in over 25 shows in Dallas, Austin, NYC, and Chicago, and in various print publications. He currently resides in Chicago.
Equal parts Californian and Texan, Jenny Grumbles realized her passion for painting at age 14. Jenny’s work has an emphasis on color and light, as does her lifestyle. Fueled by caffeine and loud music, she paints an over-booked calendar of commissioned work seeking to bring joy to her client’s homes by capturing their memories or helping them create new ones.
With a degree from Southern Methodist University, some guidance from mentor Anne Irwin of Anne Irwin Fine Art, and a few years of sobriety, she was able to found the J.Grumbles Studio in California. She began selling her art in galleries and shops from California to Georgia.
Shortly after, she opened a vintage home-decor business, Uptown Country Home, where she was the proprietor of her own retail store for 10 years. Jenny’s success in retail sales of art and refurbished furniture landed her a leading role (as herself) on 56 episodes of A&E’s hit series, Storage Wars Texas. Jenny is also passionate about political and social issues which are highlighted in some of her work. She says she finally found a way to combine her loves of trash-to-treasure, home decor and fine art with her latest Cereal Series (portraits made entirely out of cereal boxes) and wallpaper line.
