Glenn Arvilla Osborn 1943 - 2010, was a graduate of The Ohio State University. He enjoyed a long career in marketing and most recently worked as Creative Director for Midwest Tape. Glenn was involved in architectural preservation as a member of both the Perrysburg Historical Society and the Landmarks Committee for the Preservation of the Old West End. He was an avid music lover, a poet and writer, and founder of Scrawl, an online writers' forum. His works were published by the Melic Review, Writer Online, Toledo City Paper, and InkPot Review. Later in life, he photographed thousands of flowers, mostly at the 577 Foundation, and used those images to create an almost endless collection of stunning photo-collages. His work was exhibited at the Paula Brown Gallery and the Hudson Gallery. He was awarded Best of Show at the 89th annual Toledo Area Artist Show at the Toledo Museum of Art.
This exhibition was organized and curated by BGSU Lecturer Ruthy Light and the students in the Art History Capstone course.
