Fine Artist in Portraiture, Landscapes, and Still Life
About the Artist and Her Work
Light and color inspire Gloria
Color excites me. If I see something that is colorful or do a still life setup that is colorful, I’m much more excited. What color does to an object, how it changes from ordinary to something that stimulates my artistic feelings and expression. Light and color work with each other, not individually, but rather in a relational way that enhances the subject.
Insights from the Artist
“I tend toward older people because I see their character – this person has experience in life.”
Portraiture
“I don’t paint it exactly as I see it, but enhance it according to my feeling about the subject.”
Landscapes
“I make what I see my own. If it excites me I might make it more vivid or adjust the composition.”
