Glenda has had her work displayed on exhibition in the United States at the Museum of the Southwest, Midland Texas (1975), Museum of Art, University of Oklahoma, Norman (1975), Oklahoma Museum of Art, Oklahoma City (1976), Philbrook Art Center, Tulsa (1978), the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of the City of New York, and Williams College Museum of Art.
