Artist Gloria Marojevic was exposed to the world of painting early on by her father. It was her mother's homeland in Northern Italy, where she spent her summers as a child, though, that fostered her love of nature, which heavily informs her painting. Marojevic's work is based in photography and her interest in abstract forms of color. Her photographs have graced some 400 greeting cards, but her true calling is painting. After taking close-up photographs of slices of Agate stone and seeing the translucent vibrancy of color and the flow of natural abstract design, Marojevic began to paint on glass placed over a lightbox to mimic this effect.

Focusing on light and color, and often taking the sea as her subject, Marojevic imitates the movement of light and shape with the movement of the paint, which she sometimes pours directly onto the glass, pushing it around with brushes and blowing it across the glass, never certain where it will end up. This process results in works that are vibrant and full of organic movement; paintings that play with the idea of abstraction grounded in the natural world.
