Glynis Takalo is a self-taught artist who has worked in a number of mediums throughout her life. She found her passion for fluid art and gourd artistry and that opened the creative floodgates. Her part-time hobby has become a vocation.

She has always been surrounded by art. Her grandparents were an inspiration with their ceramic creations and her mother painted and did gourd folk art.

Her artistic influences are Van Gogh and Dali with their bold colors and abstract imagery.
