Gloria began developing her artistic abilities as a child and went on to various Gifted and Talented art programs and classes - earning multiple scholarships in her college years. She began painting with arcrylics and moved on to explore other mediums such as conte, charcoal, oil painting, watercolor, mixed media and mural work. She enjoys the process of creating and hopes to one day compile enough artwork to display in international art museums along with her favorite artists. 

Gloria has also combined her passion for art with her love for working with youth in the community. She has conducted art therapy classes in outpatient mental health settings as well as directed group murals alongside organizations such as Sierra Arts Youth Artworks, The Children's Cabinet and Child & Adolescent Mental Health Behavioral Services. Some of the murals that she has worked with youth on can be located at: the Family & Youth Interventions building at The Children's Cabinet, Child & Adolescent Mental Health Behavioral Services outpatient services and The Nevada Division of Child and Family Services.
