Artist Statement
I like to go by the name cRegloria because It means to create glory. I enjoy using many colors within my work because it brings life to a blank canvas. My work is very expressive with the use of textures. I like to paint with acrylics, oils, watercolors, the shaping and molding of clay, or capturing a moment with a photo. I want my work to feel free, but I want it to be transparent and reflect our reality. My artwork takes a critical view of society, spirituality, and challenging issues in our homes that many families hide. I like for my work to become personal, and be a mirror image of every culture and every being. I wanted to show the brokenness between fathers’ and daughters’ relationships within this body of work. I like my work to make you think, and to give you hope and strength.
