Frances Loring October 14, 1887–February 5, 1968 was a Canadian sculptor based in Toronto, Ontario. Her work can be seen in many galleries and public spaces in Toronto and elsewhere. Born in Wardner, Idaho, 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 life-long 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[1]. 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.
