Artistic Inspiration

Venice

The Venetian landscape filled with layers of subtle movement, water, fog and light has inspired artists for centuries. Gloria credits growing up in this environment with her eye for detail and sophisticated use of color.

California

Moving to the San Francisco Bay Area broadened her palette, adding strong, saturated colors and the sparkling light of the California Coast to her works.

Colorado

Gloria currently resides in Colorado, where the intense light, vibrant skies, stony textures and spectacular Rocky Mountain landscape provide continual inspiration for her works.
