In Loving Memory of Gloria Kramer Alford
October 3, 1928 - October 10, 2017
Welcome
Gloria’s Work
I’ve been actively engaged in working in several mediums over the past 35 years. Using acrylics, I am currently painting on paper and canvas.
I spent the 1980s working with hand-made paper to produce pulp paintings and sculptural pieces. I also explored different mono-print techniques.
In the 1970s I devoted myself to screen printing, vacuum forming plastic into molds, and an early form of computer graphics, all of which were combined into mixed media multiples.
The latter part of the decade I got “off the wall” and completed two major pieces, Solar Sound Sculpture and The Jaded Princess, a replica of an ancient Chinese burial suit.
