Pixie Glore

Born into an Air Force family in England with an Irish Nanny who stamped me like a passport with the name Pixie, that all led to a love of travel and adventure. My mother gave me sketch books and by age five—I boldly proclaimed myself an artist!  I studied how trees grew, mountains formed, butterfly wings danced,  my cats meow and the outline of our pony. Later, while living in a school bus, raising my daughter and running heavy equipment in the summers, I attended five different colleges of art. Eventually, I found Don Doxey—a premier western artist.  Under his tutelage I learned classical representation in Oils, graduated and got a teaching certificate in Art and Spanish.

As I began traveling, I learned to paint in watercolor, first being a series of people from Africa. Success followed in galleries and awards.  My good fortune allowed me to paint people and landscapes from Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tahiti, Solomon Islands, Philippines, Irian Jaya, Mexico, Panama, Africa, Ecuador, China, India,  Japan, Thailand, Morocco, Istanbul, and Europe. Eventually Southern Spain became home for thirteen years where I taught art, rode horses and produced their first Art festival. There I focused on European landscapes in an impressionist style in oils.   Now, back in Colorado, In the summer I ride my horse, Picasso, with paints and my dog Cassie, always seeking that perfect composition of light, color and beauty.  During inclement weather I work in the solace of my studio where imagination plays with colors and palette knives, oils, watercolors, acrylics or anything else that lands on my table.

I am currently represented by Portfolio Gallery in Breckenridge, Colorado and River Canyon Gallery in Bailey Colorado.
