When you view Gloria Martin's artwork, words like
"natural" and "symbolic" easily come to mind.
Indeed, her paintings and illustrations often combine
the realistic with the fanciful, with a dreamlike quality
to many of her pieces.
"Nature is the first creator and teacher, which is why
I make it habitual that naturalistic symbolism is an
integral component in my work and within my life,"
she told eBurg. "Knowledge of self has led me to
explore feelings of oppression while using nature and
symbols to combat pain both self-inflicted and/or
external forces."
Her frequent use of acrylics punctuates her art's
unique character, emphasizing the space between the
solidly here and the otherworldly there.
