Local Artist: Doris Glovier
Doris Glovier is an artist and photographer living on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Her work is largely inspired by the beauty and majesty of the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay, the coastal habitat of the amazing wildlife she loves to paint. Other favorite subjects include portraiture and the people who live and vacation on the coast. Prior to embarking on a fine art career path in 2006, she was an author and designer in the Arts & Craft industry.
Doris is the author of three books:
§ The Stamped and Stenciled Home, Rockport Publishing
§ The Weekend Crafter; Stenciling, Lark Books
§ Floorcloths and Fun Stuff, Grace Publications.
Her designs and related articles have been published in nationally distributed magazines and industry publications. She currently works in watercolor, oils, pastels and photography and was honored with the Watercolor Workshop’s 2009 Artist of the Year Award. She teaches watercolor classes at the Delmarva Discovery Center in Pocomoke City and at the YMCA in Chincoteage. Doris is a full-time, self-representing artist who paints daily in her studio.

Beware of Allstate Motor Club - and their salespeople!
Things that annoy me:
- telemarketers
- liars
- manipulators
- shady business practices
Put them all together and you get my recent experience with Allstate Motor Club. I usually don't even answer the phone when I know it's a solicitor. But we have Allstate Insurance, and I really didn't pay attention to the words following Allstate on the Caller ID. They're counting on that.
So I made the mistake of answering my phone, and immediately realized this was NOT my insurance agent calling with a question. Instead the salesperson immediately began reading from the script, talking fast and apparently not pausing for extraneous things - like air. Sometimes I let them finish their spiel, but I was busy with sick children and doctors and after a couple of minutes I interrupted to say, "No, thank you." They immediately talked more, going into Spiel #2 without hesitation. Again, I interrupted. "No, thank you." Then I hung up.
That was my second mistake.

Doris Glovier
Doris is a great artist.
She painted a beautiful watercolor of my daughter, her fiance, and their two dogs walking toward the Chesapeake Bay on the grounds of the 18th Century farmhouse where they later held their wedding. The bride and groom were thrilled! Doris can capture the essense of people in her paintings, as well as the beauty around her in all mediums.
Doris Glovier is a dear friend, and so I know how loving and kind a person she is. This shows up in her paintings: the love she has for people and the natural beauty that abounds on Maryland's Eastern Shore. I am so proud of the recognition Doris is now receiving for her talents.
