The Society of Bluffton Artists (SOBA) is proud to present “Elemental Alchemy: The Visionary Artwork of Gloria Owens,” an exhibition showcasing the transformative and meditative art of Gloria Owens. The show will run from Sunday, January 5, 2025, to Saturday, February 1, 2025, at SOBA’s gallery located in Old Town Bluffton.

An Artist’s Reception, open to the public, will be held from 3-5 p.m. Saturday, January 11 at the gallery, 6 Church Street. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the artist, explore her work, and gain insights into her creative process.

Owens also will present “The Wonders of Sacred Geometry” from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Jan. 15 at the SOBA Art School, located next door to the gallery at 8 Church Street in Bluffton. This free presentation will unveil the hidden patterns and proportions that shape our world, weaving together the threads of nature, history, math, science, art, architecture, and mysticism. RSVP by emailing Barbara Pecce at [email protected].

Owen’s unique background as a creative artist, graphic designer, and yoga teacher gives her a rare ability to simplify complex concepts, making them accessible, relatable, and profoundly inspiring. 

“Whether you’re an artist eager to infuse sacred geometry into your work, a seeker curious about the intersection of science, spirituality, and the natural world, or simply someone who loves exploring new ideas, this event is for you!” said Owens. 

Owens, an accomplished visionary artist, photographer, and yoga teacher, combines her expertise in graphic design with her passion for spirituality and nature to create intricate mandalas, surreal landscapes, and fine art photography. Her latest collection, “Elemental Alchemy,” draws inspiration from the five elements—Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether—inviting viewers to connect with themes of growth, transformation, and consciousness.

“In times of uncertainty, my art reconnects us to awe, peace, possibility, and a sense of something greater than ourselves,” Owens shared.

A longtime graphic designer with over 40 years of experience, Gloria’s work bridges the gap between traditional artistic techniques and modern digital innovation. Each piece is meticulously crafted, printed on substrates like canvas and metal, and presented as limited-edition prints. No A.I is involved. Her art has been described as “transcendent,” “luminous,” and “evocative.”

This exhibition marks an exciting opportunity to experience Owens’ unique artistic vision, which merges sacred geometry with the natural world. It is a must-see for art enthusiasts, yoga practitioners, and anyone seeking awe & inspiration.
