My Bio
I began selling my pencil drawings at age twelve, and kept on, drawing portraits and pets on commission. Then I shelved art for a while when I married and had children. Now, with enough life experience to let some of it run on autopilot, I make the time for drawing once again.

I primarily use graphite pencils, and sometimes colored pencils, but I have ventured into pastels, watercolor, and, recently, digital painting.

...well, to be more precise, it's a long time since I've done anything more than check in here.  I have a full life at the moment (somehow) and often don't have time to sift through my watch list, or respond to comments or likes or features.  But I do enjoy looking at the wonders that other, better artists have worked and shared here.  And I do appreciate all the things people have said about the art that I post here.  It is encouraging, especially when I have so little time to devote to drawing, to know that people look at it when I finally get something done. The WIP images of the piece I just posted are on my Facebook page: www.facebook.c

Yes, I'm coming up with two new images and will update another soon.   See my Facebook site for WIPs of a colored oil pastel piece and a graphite illustration here: www.facebook.com/gloriadei.art Also the "Aviary Inmate" (with a new title) was just touched up for entry into a local show; I'll post the new edition here soon.
