What if the artwork you share with the world carries someone you love with it?
For Gloria, her work in Women Beyond Borders III carries the memory of her mother, a strong woman who shaped her life.
Her series, Iconic 1.3, transforms a personal photograph into something she can share far beyond her own world — from her life as a Canadian-Italian artist living in China to a global exhibition in Times Square.
And that is what Gloria hopes people find in her work: memory, connection, a relationship, a cherished moment that means something to them too.
Her message to other artists is just as important: support one another, share opportunities, stay connected to your artistic community, and keep creating work that has something to say.
Because sometimes the most personal stories are the ones that allow others to feel something of their own.
Thank you, Gloria, for sharing your story with us. 🤍
