A Visionary Talent Rooted in Passion and Purpose
Gloria Owens isn’t just an artist—she’s a storyteller who weaves the threads of her expertise in graphic design, photography, yoga, and spirituality into every piece she creates. Her collection, “Elemental Alchemy,” draws inspiration from the five elements—Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether—and explores themes of transformation, growth, and connection to something greater than ourselves.
“I want my art to reconnect people to awe, peace, and a sense of possibility,” Owens says. Her work, which ranges from intricate mandalas and surreal landscapes to fine art photography, has been described as “transcendent,” “luminous,” and “evocative.”
A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation
With over 40 years of experience as a graphic designer, Gloria bridges the gap between traditional artistic techniques and cutting-edge digital design (no AI involved!). Her pieces are printed on premium materials like canvas and metal, available as limited-edition prints that are as stunning as they are unique.
