Gloria Woolley’s roots have always been exclusively abstract, although for many years she taught ceramics at El Camino High School in Sacramento, CA. There is a psychological and unorganized action in viewing the colorful but lyrical works of her paintings.  The observer has an immediate response to the uniqueness and powerful use of material and color.  Her intrinsic qualities, non-figurative for the most part are laden with emotion.  We are exposed to the essence of meditative inspiration.
