Artist Statement:
“ I have painted for as long
as I can remember, from my
earliest memories drawing was
the activity that I enjoyed
most and as a child I would
wander for miles, sketchbook

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
So much and so many. Other than all those things around me that we all draw on, I have been largely inspired by great master drawings by such artists as Rubens, Donato Creti and Zoran Music. Most recently by Ken Paine ,who whilst appearing cavalier, his work is anything but! I consider his work masterful. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Born into a small farming community in North Norfolk, England. Gloria's career as an artist has spanned sculpture, 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.
The Iberian horse has featured strongly in her work. During the 1980's whilst travelling to Portugal to study Lusitano's in their 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 Portugese breeds.
In these works is demonstrated her mastery of the art of draughtmanship which is seen throughout her work, from the dramatic charcoal studies of ballet dancers to the relaxed sketches of passers-by.
Now spending most of her time living in Portugal, Gloria is now drawing inspiration, for painting, writing and illustrating children's books, from the people, traditions and the country itself.
