About the Member--Gloria Chadwick
I believe artists play an enormous role in driving home
the message about beauty around us.
My goal is to
educate the public to the greater value of wildlife and
to encourage them to support those organizations that
endeavor to protect all species and environment. I
paint because I want to share my enthusiasm of nature
and I've learned that most people will stop and take a
longer look if the artist provides some interesting
facts about the subject. I hope I can do some good
by educating others about the greatest asset (wildlife)
they have around them and to look and listen a little
differently.
Gloria and friend at the
San Diego Wild Animal Park San Diego CA
I ventured into the world of nursing
and as a psychiatric nurse found that nothing had
changed from studying animals and humans. Much as
mankind thinks we're different, we have the same basic
behaviors as our wildlife friends.
As a San Diego native, I
have
had many opportunities to sketch various wildlife at the
world famous zoo, it has been a treasure. I won
the Starbuck's/San Diego Zoo Art Contest producing
a flamingo tumbler and debit card that generated funds
for the Zoological Society and is today one of the most
popular Starbuck's collector cards.
