About Gloria

I have studied at the Academie Canadiens in Ottawa, in Washington D.C. and at George Brown College in Toronto.

My work is strongly influenced by my many travels through Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and East Asia, as well as years spent living in Trinidad and Tobago, Tanzania, the United States and Canada.

For the past thirty-five years, I have been an ardent collector of Ethnographic artifacts, many of which end up in my designs. I use all natural materials. My unique, one-of-a-kind necklaces combine a tasteful blend of collectable beads, pendants and other components I acquired during my travels.

My jewelry and accessories are designed to blend with contemporary fashions, while still reflecting the many cultures, countries and periods in history from which they are inspired. I make all my findings by hand using sterling silver and other metals.

I have exhibited and sold in many craft shows, both in the metropolitan Washington D.C. area and in Toronto over the past several decades.
