Life
Born in Wardner, Idaho to mining engineer Frank Curtis Loring (1859-1938)[1] and Charlotte Moore,[2][3] Loring studied in Europe before enrolling at the Art Institute of Chicago where she studied with Lorado Taft. At the Institute she met Florence Wyle with whom she was to have a lifelong partnership. In 1911 the two moved to Toronto, eventually establishing a studio in a converted church schoolhouse at 110 Glenrose Avenue in the Moore Park neighborhood.[4] In 1928 Loring and Wyle were founding members of the Sculptors' Society of Canada in 1928 with Alfred Laliberté, Elizabeth Wyn Wood, Wood's teacher and husband Emanuel Hahn and Henri Hébert. She was made a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts[5] Her work was often exhibited by the Women's Art Association of Canada.[6]
In 1960, works by Loring along with those of Edmund Alleyn, Graham Coughtry, Jean Paul Lemieux and Albert Dumouchel represented Canada at the Venice Biennale.[7]
