An exhibition of recent paintings and mixed-media works by Ferrum College art faculty, Edward Gloria and Andy Moore

Edward Gloria

Edward Gloria was born in Ashland, KY. Gloria attended the University of Kentucky where he found a personal connection to the visual arts and received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in studio art. Although his primary focus was ceramics, he also pursued interests in graphic design and painting. In 2000 Gloria received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Radford University with an emphasis in painting and sculpture.

Artist's Statement

     I am a generalist in terms of the use of media incorporated in my work. I believe that everything has the potential to become art material. The works on display are more traditional art materials -- clay and paint; they are meant to illustrate how my early experiences with ceramics bridged my development into painting. This discovery has opened the door to my exploration into other media possibilities.

     Dwellings, coconuts, boats, vessels, bridges, waterways, mountains and dogs are some of the subjects represented in this exhibit. The images are meant to be whimsical and contemplative in tone, autobiographical yet universal in aim. The works are a sampling from my database of personal stories, epiphanies, experiences and observations.
