Glenn Woodley (RIP) - Inspiration

Painting since age 14, Glenn’s artworks are strongly influenced by Jamaican 'street art of the third world'. Glenn believes every painting is a song, and every exhibition is an album, and describes most of his work as 'visual reggae'. Glenn’s passion for art and animals were a driving inspiration for Aves, with Glenn providing creative direction in the founding days. 🦜🎨
