Gloria Gales has been a professional art dealer and art appraiser since 1984. Born in Waukegan, Illinois in 1956, Ms. Gales has traveled extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia.

Gloria Gales has directed and owned several businesses within the field of art. She is currently the owner and director of World Art Gallery in Ladera Ranch, California, and OC Art & Frame in Santa Ana, California. Ms. Gales has created a richly diverse exhibition of original paintings, sculptures, and prints. Her gallery collection is chiefly comprised of art created by artists who are well known and highly regarded in the Americas and abroad. She often discovers new talent, "One of my greatest joys is to find a new artist and bring his or her art into the bright lights of gallery the scene." A hands on gallery director, Gloria Gales has exhibited the work of well known and emerging artists for over two decades.

With a primary emphasis on exhibiting figurative and landscape paintings Gloria Gales began publishing art ten years ago. "In the past art collectors had two choices, originals or cheap prints. With great improvements in the process of fine art printing, art collectors now have a third choice, fine art reproductions, hand embellished and created in limited editions." Gloria Gales is keen on bringing the beauty of art into work and living spaces. "Our slogan, 'The beauty of art can enhance your world' is a true statement. I believe that one can increase their level of happiness and productivity with art."

Appraisals are done on premises at World Art Gallery in Ladera Ranch, California. On site appraisals are also offered for clients within Orange County, California.
