About Gloria
I’m Gloria Green, a Toronto-based abstract artist working in intuitive mixed media. My work moves between calm, minimal compositions and more expressive, layered paintings, depending on what I’m feeling and what I’m observing in everyday life. I come from a background in healthcare and I’m self-taught as an artist. Both have shaped the way I see the world, through attention, empathy, and an awareness of what often sits beneath the surface. That sensitivity shows up in my work through texture, layering, and shifting emotional tone.
I paint from the heart. My practice is rooted in emotion and observation, but also in process, building, covering, revealing, and responding as each piece develops. My hope is that the work meets people in their own way. That it brings a sense of connection into a space, whether that’s through calm, curiosity, energy, or quiet reflection.
All paintings are original and available to view and purchase.
Artist Statement
My work is rooted in abstraction and built through an intuitive process of layering, mark-making, and material exploration. I work with mixed media to create depth and texture, often building surfaces gradually through addition, removal, and revision. Paint is applied, obscured, revealed, and reworked until the composition feels resolved.
Each piece develops organically, guided by gesture, colour, and the physical act of painting rather than a fixed outcome. I’m interested in what emerges through process, how surfaces shift, how tension builds, and how space and structure interact.
My paintings range from quiet and minimal to more expressive and complex, reflecting the natural variation that comes from working intuitively over time. Rather than illustrating a specific narrative, the work is open-ended, allowing space for interpretation, presence, and individual response.
