| Your Personal Biography |
Gloria’s life began in a small farming community in Norfolk, England. Her career as an artist began during the late 70’s when she opened a small art gallery representing her own and other, carefully selected, artists work.
During this time she also held art classes for both children and adults, and soon established a loyal following.
Since then her work has spanned sculpture, book illustration, stage sets and the design and restoration of lacquered furniture and Chinoiserie, including work for The Fitzwilliam Museum, The Ashmolean Museum and also work on the Wallace Collection
Animals have featured strongly in her work, including the Iberian horse. Whilst travelling to Portugal to study the Lusitano in his home environment, she pursued her own studies in Haute Ecole under the tutelage of Lord Henry Loch. Since then she has gone on to produce bold and powerful studies of bulls,
Inspired greatly by the fighting bulls of Portugal, and the mass and majesty of both English and Portuguese breeds. In these works is demonstrated her mastery of the art of draughtsmanship which is seen throughout her work, from the dramatic charcoal studies of ballet dancers to the relaxed sketches
of passers-by.
Always a keen writer she has had several articles published in magazines and has recently created interest with her online blogs and illustrations for her own growing range of children’s books.
Now spending much of her time in Portugal, Gloria is drawing inspiration for writing as well as painting from her own lively past, the people, traditions and the country of Portugal itself.
Her interests outside of art and writing include; Riding, sailing, flying and Tai Chi Chuan.
