MILES GLYNN: SOLO EXHIBITION

July 25 | Gallery MAR

Gallery MAR is proud to introduce our newest represented artist, Miles Glynn, whose unique mixed-media works blend storytelling, nostalgia, and bold experimentation. This summer, join us for an exhibition hohonoring Glynn on July 25th from 6 to 9 pm.

Glynn’s path to becoming a professional artist was anything but conventional, making his work all the more compelling. “For most of my life I was not thinking or living in a creative way,” Glynn admits. His first career was in athletics, coaching soccer full-time for over a decade. Art had never been a focus, although photography was familiar to him through his father, an Army photojournalist. 

Everything changed when Glynn moved from the Midwest to Montana, where the vast landscapes, rich wildlife, and deep history inspired him to pick up a camera. “I started photographing a lot more and eventually started pushing the creative end of my photography…I felt compelled to go a creative route with it, it just felt right,” he explains. Having grown up around a photojournalist father, Glynn’s work is deeply narrative. “There’s a link between an image and a story and compelling someone based on the image to want to learn more… That definitely rubbed off on me,” he says. His first photographic series combined images of animals with antique wallpaper, an exploration of nostalgia and forgotten aesthetics.
