Biography

 

Gloria is currently living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada where she works in her studio painting wildlife from photographs taken in and around Calgary, Vancouver, B.C. and while travelling.

 

Originally from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Gloria enjoyed drawing while growing up and always wanted to pursue an art career.   It was not until 1998 that she took her first class in painting with International Wildlife Artist David Kitler, and she hasn't looked back since. Learning so many techniques to paint wildlife and about the art process, she is truly thankful.

 

Gloria moved to Vancouver, B.C. in 2006 and during that time, she was able to pursue her art studies at Emily Carr University where she obtained a Fine Art Certificate.

 

Taking workshops and classes from a variety of well known artists, Gloria continues to learn and grow as an Artist.
