Glenys Buzza was
born in Cobram, an Australian town on the banks of the Murray River.
After declining
a university scholarship in the faculty of arts, she trained as a
teacher and worked in the fields of special education and music, but
returned to an earlier love- painting.
Specializing in
wildlife art, her viewpoint is unique, her interpretative work capturing
mood and movement, always with art as the prime objective.
“Sometimes
I strive for pure artistry, sometimes to define the essence of a subject.
If I can combine the two, I am very happy.”
Her total involvement
in publishing limited edition reproduction prints of a selection of
her work, to achieve the closest possible image of the original, is
a process she finds a welcome foil to the creativity of painting.
