We begin by talking about Glen's early beginnings growing up in a small town in Mississippi. She embarked on a spiritual journey in her 20’s and then started to read books such as Merlin Stone’s : “When God was a Woman" and Rhiane Eisler’s “The Chalice and The Blade”. She had an amazing heart opening and spiritual epiphany discovering that there was a Goddess and matriarchy way before patriarchy. This informed her spiritual life as well as her artistic career as well.

She studied Printmaking at University of Florida and got her Masters in Printmaking at San Jose State University. She was a working artist in the San Francisco Bay Area for 25 years. Glen moved to San Miguel de Allende Mexico which has a thriving artistic and creative community and a special place for Women especially those in their Crone years. Glen talks about how she and other women artists, and creatives are valued in San Miguel, Mexico.

Once Glen started reading about Goddess Spirituality and the Sacred Feminine she had an intense desire to travel to different neolithic and paleolithic sites and walk in the footsteps of the Goddess. She went to the South of France and to Crete where she saw cave paintings and symbols in ancient ceremony and ritual sites that Glen was very impressed by. She took photos and made sketches while she was there. Using the symbols she started to incorporate them into her book. She was doing figurative work as well. The power of those ancient sites that were places of Goddess worship expresses itself through Glen’s imagery and can be felt when looking
