Originating from the vibrant streets of New York, Gloria Schaller embarked on a transformative journey to Colorado in 1974. With a rich artistic history dating back to 1966, her canvases served as a testament to the fusion of synthetic structures and the wonders of nature, all crafted to evoke a profound emotional resonance.
Whether she delved into the expansive Western Vistas enveloping her or explored the minutest nooks and crannies, Gloria's artistic vision remained abstract. Within the realm of abstraction, she skillfully captured the "essence" of her subjects, allowing her creations to transcend the tangible and communicate intricate emotions.
Gloria's artistic evolution unfolded with each stroke, presenting a groundbreaking interpretation of the western and southwestern landscapes. Her paintings distill the very essence of desert monuments – their awe-inspiring presence, exotic contours, diverse textures, and a kaleidoscope of colors. Infused with the impactful play of light, her works become powerful, dramatic images that not only capture but amplify the spirit of these landscapes, unveiling her romantic sensibilities.
Her prowess earned national acclaim, adorned with numerous awards, and imparted her artistic wisdom through workshops and captivating demonstrations. Gloria's paintings have found a cherished place in the collections of both private individuals and corporate entities across North America, a testament to the universal allure and resonance of her art.
