Artwork
My artworks are visual representations of moments, memories and thoughts that I cannot record or communicate using the spoken word. // I use the Internet as the main outlet for my artworks. The Internet is ‘designed’ for content and navigation but can it hold Artwork as ‘form’? The World Wide Web is exploited by artists as a portfolio but rarely is the ‘actual’ artwork viewed in its primary medium. I create Artwork that is first and foremost displayed on a Web page with the potential of ‘exhibiting’ in the analogue world as a secondary opportunity.

About Paul Glennon
Born and raised in Belfast I decided early in my education to head in the direction of the arts. I graduated from the University of Ulster with a BA (Hons) in Visual Communication in 1996. Since then I have worked as a Graphic Designer, an art teacher and a lecturer. Over the years, freelance Graphic Design has pushed my work into the arena of image making, especially on the web. To complement this interest I completed an MA in Computer Arts in London and have just developed a new body of worked based around the digital canvas. I exhibit this work nationally and, more recently, internationally (see artwork).

Professional Graphic Design
Every year I take on at least three clients to 'keep my hand in' as a teacher of Graphic Design / Visual Communication. Historically as a Graphic Designer I have a proven track record working full-time for agencies and freelance work. My client list includes BBC Northern Ireland, Mazda, Budweiser, University of Ulster, Belfast Education Library Board, The Observer, etc.

Academia
My practice informs my teaching and vice versa. I have taught at every educational level: Primary and Secondary Schools, FE Colleges and Universities. Having this diverse background has allowed me to progress as a teacher, lecturer, Course Leader, Director of Study and now Associate Dean of Student Experience at Birmingham Institute of Art and Design.
