 Gloria started painting about 5 years ago as a way to pass the
time. With no formal art classes or any type of lessons it is now
a hobby that she enjoys...using all different forms...pastels,
oils, watercolors, pencils, etc.
It wasn't until she
was 47 that she started doing what she enjoys the most...
CREATING!!
She decided to form
WOMEN IN ART IN PENNSYLVANIA (W.I.A.I.PA)
to bring women together in an
effort to help other women in the community by raising money for
women and their children who are abused and in shelters.
Women are a powerful
force in the community and need to stand up, join in and be part
of a community that is willing to help other women and their
children in their darkest hours.
WIAIPA is always
looking for talented women artist to help with our projects,
please contact her at
