Gloria has the gift of capturing those wonderful warm moments and perfect glimpses, that one would like to remember forever, with a style imbued with nostalgia. Her love of the technique of water color is evident in the exciting flow of color and form over the paper, achieving effects that range from realism into the abstract.

Gloria attended Arkansas Tech University and has studied with such contemporary artists as Milford Zornes, Irving Shapiro, Frank Web, Don Andrews, Bill Herring, Jeanie Dobie, Gerald Brommer, and Cheng-Khee Chee.

Her style continues to evolve as she reaches greater heights with each new painting. Her works have been exhibited at the Arkansas Art Center, Fort Smith Art Center, Arkansas River Valley Art Center and in various traveling shows throughout the state. She is a signature member of Mid-Southern Watercolor Society. One of her paintings was selected in the prestigious Watercolor USA Annual Exhibit in 2001.

Bill and Gloria were selected as the first Artists-in-Residence for the Buffalo National River by the National Park Service in the Fall of 1996 and Glacier National Park Artists-in-Residence in July 1998. This program provides artist accommodations within a national park with the freedom to paint from the inspiration that abounds within the park. In return the artist donates a piece of the artwork created from the experience to the National Park Service that will be on display to the public.
