Gloria Tseng Fischer Watercolor

Gloria Tseng Fischer is an award winning local Takoma Park Signature status watercolor artist. Her earliest & fondest memory is of her mom's hand sketching, demonstrating "how to paint and elephant" while explaining its physical attributes. During high school, she discovered a love for visual editing when cutting mats for school exhibition. Gloria studied architecture & during her studies, kept a sketch log of the built environment. In recording immediate impressions of her surroundings, she employed a technique of visual editing where portions of her subject matter is left to the viewer to fill in the blanks. The white of the paper is the background & the chiaroscuro of the painting. Gloria's compositions reflect her desire to change the viewer.
