"My paintings are set in the restful and lovely places of the mind--private places of peace and pleasure, a beautiful moment in time.

I use the rich, vibrant color that is everywhere--if one looks. I put these colors together in my own way to create my own world of poetic realism

In my landscapes as well as other subjects, I hope the viewer will share with me a certain kind of serenity."

Gloria Trachtenberg, May 2000
