About Me
- Glenn Allen
- Born and raised in Victoria, British Columbia, Glenn was first introduced to wood turning in his high school years. Over time he has perfected his craft, creating larger and more intricate pieces. Glenn’s choice of shape and form is inspired by the individual characteristics of each piece of wood. Looking at the colour and grain, he carefully turns each piece. Many of the ideas for the shapes and forms are inspired by objects encountered in everyday life. Some shapes evolve over time while others come as the piece is being turned. Golden yellow, blue grey, pink and green, each piece is a unique display of colour and pattern, an original, with the grain, colour and imperfections adding character. Glenn and his family now reside on Vancouver Island, where he works for the BC Forest Service Radio Communications.

From the devastation wrought by the Mountain Pine Beetle Glenn creates timeless pieces of art that one is proud to own and share with others. Each piece is unique and a reflection of the passion and skill this special person and artisan.
