Reed-Conway, Glynnis J.

Dr. Glynnis Reed-Conway is motivated by art’s capacity to build worlds and work as a healing and liberating force.

She holds an M.F.A. degree in Studio Art from the University of California, Irvine and a dual-title Ph.D. in Art Education and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from The Pennsylvania State University.
