Wallis enjoys experimenting with different materials and processes whenever he gets the chance. Mixed Media holds a natural attraction for him as a result. A graduate from the University of British Columbia with a diploma in Art History along with a degree in sociology, Glen lives in a house in which all members of the family are engaged in the arts including his wife, encaustic artist Susan Wallis.

Wallis’ “Composition” series explores the connection between art and mass production fabrication.   Inspired by the Russian born, American Sculptor Louise Nevelson’s work of the mid 20th century, Wallis uses discarded objects and cast-off scraps in these recycled sculptural works. Commissioned wall compositions also included specific items provided by clients.  Using variations of the cube as the groundwork for his compositions, Wallis creates notable wall-like, collage driven reliefs. 

Wallis has also delved into the encaustic medium in his “Quilt” series . Inspired by the traditional process of quilt-making, Wallis creates grid-like paintings using encaustic as a collage medium embedding items from the envirinment into his work.

When not in his artist studio Wallis also designs and builds beautiful wood beds. www.wallisdesignbuild.com
