With over two decades of hard earned knowledge working in the field of art, Gloria Gales dispenses pearls of wisdom with humor and ease. Questions from the audience are always welcome. Artists, art dealers, and art collectors will benefit greatly by learning a few secrets of the trade!

Gloria Gales has been a resident of Orange County, California since 2001. Before moving to Orange County Gloria lived in Telluride, Colorado, and previously in South Florida where her career in art began.

A sincere love of art is what drives Gloria Gales to create connections between those who make art and those who collect art. Gloria’s work has taken her around the world; she has traveled extensively throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. Wherever she travels she always enjoys viewing art in local art galleries and private art studios. Her travels have afforded her one of her most prized possessions; in her own words, “My collection of art pales in comparison to my collection of friendships and business relations around the world. I expect that those of us who have had the great fortune to live and work in the realm of art feel the same way, it’s the people we meet, the connections with others that we treasure most of all.”

Gloria Gales has created many websites for artists, “A good website that enhances but doesn’t take away from an artist’s work is essential in today’s market. An artist needs a good website in their box of tools, it is as important as proper brushes, paints, or clay.”

Gloria Gales is keen on bringing the beauty of art into work and leisure spaces. “Art makes a room, it gives the space personality. Art has the ability to increase a person’s level of productivity and happiness.”
