Gloria Hajduk
Featured Artist - July-Sept 2011 & July-Oct 2011

Gloria Hajduk, editor, standby artist, proud mother, former daughter/caregiver, one-time substitute teacher, poet, designer, flea market entrepreneur .......and counting! Although I have two expensive degrees in fine art from recognized American institutions (plus European study) and staggering student loans, I have been obstinate in my quest to create. I embrace the work of self-taught, primitive, folk, prison, dada,  outsider, arte povera, and multi-media rather than academic formalism. Not to say that this formalism isn't important in artwork, just that it does not rule.

My art is Americana, spiritual poetry, music for the wall, and serious comedy. I laugh more as I age so enjoy my creations and laugh along with me. 

During the 70s/80s in Los Angeles, Gloria was an active member of a collective called Mother Art. A book on the history of Mother Art has been published by Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles. A film is also in the works and an
excerpt can be viewed at www.motherart.org. The book may also be ordered
there as well.
