Coming in for a Landing 미술작품 Gloria Nilsson 로

After several years as a freelance designer, Gloria yearned for a more organic connection to the arts. Her first workshop with master pastelist Ellie Bender was the catalyst that launched her fine art career. Gloria since explored oil painting and she is currently painting primarily on silk with acrylic mediums. Many of the techniques Gloria offers in her silk painting workshops are integrated into many of her fine art paintings as well as her hand painted scarves. Gloria enjoys experimenting and keeping her options open when it comes to mediums and this passion has also blossomed into her own unique line of jewelry. One-of-a-kind pieces featuring original hand sculpted beads, focals and findings.
