We had the good fortune of connecting with Gloria Moeller and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Gloria, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Since I have a passion for wandering in nature and taking photographs I decided it was important to get my photographs off my computer and out into the public, so others could enjoy the places I have discovered to experience the serenity of nature. I began only online, but found I really enjoy talking to people about my work, so I decided to start doing live art shows where I could share the stories of my images.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I began my art journey at a young age. But did not begin a business until about ten years ago. Was it easy? Hardly ever, but each small step I took brought me to where I am today. I began showing my photographs in a gallery and at Farmers” Markets. Then I began to apply to art associations, and after being juried into those, I now have avenues to show my work at regular art shows. Because I live in southern California, the weather cooperates most of the year so I am able to do outdoor art shows often. I also sell my work online at www.lifeimagesbygloria.com.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Oh gosh, I live in the vacation capital, San Diego, CA!! Where do I begin? La Jolla Cove is my favorite spot, but Coronado State Beach comes in a very close second. Balboa Park is amazing with its beautiful gardens and its large variety of museums. Mission Trails Regional Park is filled with hiking trails and beautiful plants and rock features. And then of course, there is the abundance of options of amazing Mexican food restaurants!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would love to dedicate my shoutout to my late husband, Dave, and my daughter and granddaughters, and my fellow artist friends who have encouraged me and supported me through the challenges of starting and maintaining an art business.
