A Little About Lisa Gloria

Lisa Gloria graduated from the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Aurora, IL, in 1989. She studied art briefly at the University of Illinois at Champaign Urbana, and works from her studio in downtown Aurora at 7 West Downer Place, which also shows the work of 20+ local Aurora artists.

A mother of 5 daughters, Lisa's work is at once feminine and timeless, with aspects of realism, impressionism and expressionism. She seeks to create compelling images that engage the viewer on personal level, drawing the gaze into the picture plane, as though this moment was captured solely for you.
