Artist's Statement:
Before watercolors came into her life, Gloria Mangoba was a full-time
professional with the largest management and accounting firm in Southeast Asia (SGV
& Co.), and later with an international organization in Washington, D.C. She was
at the same time a devoted mother to five growing children.
After retirement, Gloria became attracted to watercolors. Her interest in
watercolors emanated from the vibrant colors and the play of light and shadow
she had observed in many works of art. She was fascinated by what can be
achieved by watercolors, a medium so pliable in the artist's hands, yet so
elusive and challenging. Gloria loves to paint, not just Nature's handiwork in
landscapes but also man's contribution to such handiwork, such as churches,
office building and houses. Gloria's works hang in private homes and offices in
Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., New York, Oregon, California and the
Philippines. She has lived in McLean for the last 28 years. |
