Glynn Rosenberg is a non-binary Seattle mural artist creating custom murals, public art, and original paintings inspired by the ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest.
After receiving a BA from The Evergreen State College, Glynn (they/them) was introduced to spray paint in 2015 and never looked back. With community as the bedrock of their mural practice, Rosenberg was involved in painting Seattle’s boarded-up businesses after COVID-19 closures in March 2020. Their work was featured in several publications highlighting the murals created during the pandemic, including the New York Times and Viral Murals: Seattle Artists, Storefront Murals, and the Power of Art During Crisis published by Chatwin Books.
Plants and ecosystems serve as a visual language throughout Rosenberg’s work. Their murals and paintings explore the relationships between humans and the natural world, drawing attention to ecological change and threatened species. Through botanical and floral imagery, Rosenberg reflects on themes of environmental balance and globalization, using art as a way to study how human activity shapes the landscapes we inhabit.
Glynn paints murals inspired by the natural world.
Since the start of their mural practice, Glynn has created artworks across Washington, Oregon, California, Florida, Arizona, and Colorado. Their work has grown from abstract floral paintings into larger explorations of landscapes, patterns and site-specific work. Alongside their mural practice, Rosenberg maintains a fine art studio in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, where they create original paintings on canvas and wood panel.
