About The Artist

Adelia Gonzalez was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, lived in Bolivia for two years as a teenager and moved to the Unites States in 1997. With her Bachelor in Pre-School Education from Santa Ana Institute in Buenos Aires, Adelia discovered her love for the Arts but did not start her formal training until she moved to South Florida where she earned her Bachelor degree of Fine Arts with a Painting Major from Florida Atlantic University. She attended several workshops at the Boca Raton Museum with great artists such as Roslyn Kirsch, Eydi Lampasona, Larry Gerber, Clive King and Niles Laventhall among others. She has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally. Adelia has participated in several group shows including exhibitions at The Boca Raton Museum, Boca Raton, FL (2007 and 2006); the Artist Guild Juried Exhibit at the Courtyard Building; the 8th International Collage Exchange, Ingram, New Zealand (2006); The Turchin Center for the Visual Arts, Boone, NC (2006); Sara Garcia Uriburu Art Gallery, Buenos Aires, Argentina (2005 and 2006); Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL (2005); The Argentine Visual Artists in Toronto: Art Exhibition to Celebrate Argentina’s National Day (2013); Next Steps: Adult Student Invitational Group Show at Art Works Art Gallery in Toronto, Ontario (2013) and Terra Art's Argentine Art Exhibition 2014 in Ottawa at the St. Brigid’s Centre for the Arts (2014). When the transition from being a teacher to being a full time artist was almost completed, in December 2008, a brain stroke changed Adelia’s life forever. Always right handed, she learned to paint with her left hand and making a complete transformation in her techniques, including her signature and in her way of seeing life as an artist and as a person. Adelia moved to Toronto, Ontario in Canada in 2012 where she continues painting in her studio at home.
