We are proud to say our NEW FACES OF ‘23 artists have found not only new fans but collectors, too—with 16 sales and counting. GLORIA KLAIMAN can lay claim to four of the red dots (but the assemblage shown here is still available!). She has perhaps connected so readily with our audiences because her art aims to convey a complex world view. “In my mixed-media art, I always strive to explore the beauty of the natural world,” says Gloria, “as well as the songs, dreams, ideas, fears and aspirations of the people around us. In the current political climate, this also entails a conscious effort to counter the initiatives that promote hateful separations between the self and the other; the self and nature; and the self and the spiritual, idiosyncratic and different in the world.”
