PARTICIPATING ARTISTS
Cathy Hrenda
Since 1987 Hrenda has lived in Glendale with her husband. In 1990 she received a Master degree from UCLA. Prior to 2017 she worked primarily in digital art, but since then she has been working exclusively in 3-dimensional art made mostly from discarded objects. She finds many of these elements as roadside trash on walks around Glendale and nearby areas and feels that trash art is fundamentally an expression of the possibility of transformation.
Each year since 2015, working with Glendale's Community Services and Parks Department and the Adams Hill Neighborhood Association, she has designed, created and installed community art projects in the gas station building in Adams Square Mini Park. Residents of the community are invited to come to the park to finish elements of the installation which remain in the park from November through January each year.
Hrenda is currently working on a kinetic steel sculpture which incorporates several used bicycle frames and is expected to be installed in Glendale in the upcoming year.
