Glenn W. Garrison

Sculptor / Artist / Teacher

 Hello. My name is Glenn W. Garrison and I am proud to say I am the new Salisbury Elk Lick School District K-12 Art teacher. I am a local artist who specializes in sculptural designs, paintings, painted furniture and custom installations for home and business enjoyment.

I was born, raised and educated in the small town of Ligonier where I was allowed to flourish as an artist and creator by my parents and teachers. I hope and plan to do the same for the students I teach at SELSD.   

My adult education began at Saint Vincent College, a liberal arts school in Latrobe, Pa. I continued my education and obtained my Masters degree at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC.

I have been teaching for 20 years and I am looking forward to sharing that knowledge with your student artist.

 I have always felt that Art is one of the many avenues used in today’s public and private schools that gives many students a structured and creative place to express them-selves in many different mediums. Students can learn how to problem solve during projects and possibly relate to the artists they are learning about and discover the reasons, progressions, and theories that shape artistic expression.

 My consistent career goal is to be a part of educational tradition of excellence so my students can become a productive life long learner while using the tools, creativity and abilities in which each of use to find success over time. I believe in the students at Salisbury Elk Lick School district, and hope be a positive force for creativity.

I live in Ligonier, Pa along with my wife Anne, our very active 7-year old son Laken, our dog Picnic, and two cats Izzy and Gypsy.
