Holding an MFA in Fine Arts from Southern Illinois University, a B.S. in Art Education from Buffalo State University, and an A.A.S. in Education from Maria Regina Junior College, Gilda has fostered a lifelong passion for the arts.

Her own artwork, which includes colored pencil drawings, prints, paintings, and various mixed media, often evokes angelic themes and motifs inspired by her Italian American heritage.

Her expertise has earned her recognition as LinkedIn’s top memoir instructor.

Originally from Syracuse, New York, Gilda now resides outside Charlotte, North Carolina, where she continues to work from her studio. Her creative endeavors explore personal history, healing, and identity—deeply reflecting her rich cultural roots and artistic vision.
