Bio
At an early age Gloria was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity and dyslexia. For this reason she is self-taught. Owing to her natural curiosity and love for challenges she has over time mastered several styles, As a result of these exercises, she has developed her own style, something difficult for any artist to achieve. The most important art project for Gloria is to do portraits that have to do with social issues. In this project she stresses the importance of social inclusion and tolerance and gives credit to those who have played a role in inspiring future generations.
