Glory Day Loflin graduated from The Cooper Union in 2014 and has been seen in New American Paintings, Town Carolina, and Create! Magazine among other publications. She has shown work nationally and is represented by galleries in the Southeast. Working out of her studio at Oyé Studios, an artists’ cooperative in Downtown Greenville, South Carolina, she creates work for both private homes and cooperate spaces. Her work pushes the boundaries of painting and drawing and includes explorations in clay and wooden sculpture. “My work is an extension of who I am; a silver-lining focused, bright eyed and bushy-tailed type. I make art that brings me joy and keeps me curious. I hope, in turn, my work sparks both joy and curiosity in my collectors.” Education2010-2014 BFA: Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, New York City, NY2008-2010 South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts & Humanities, Greenville, SC2006-2008 The Fine Arts Center, Greenville, SCWork Experience2017- 2020Artist Assistant to Signe & Genna Grushovenko2014- 2020Artist Assistant to Joseph Bradley Studio2016-2017Artist Assistant to Darin Gehrke2016-2017Framer at Bennetts’ Frame and Gallery2015-2016Artist Assistant to Alice Ballard at Arrowmont Workshops (20015, 2018), Penland Workshop (2016)2013-2014Typesetter (Work Study) at the Cooper Union Type Shop2012-2014Resident Assistant, Freshman Housing at The Cooper Union2013Art Staff (Ceramics), Ramapo Country Day Camp, Airmont, NY2011-2012Sculpture Teacher, The Saturday Program at The Cooper UnionAwards & Residencies2020Penland Winter Residency (Ceramics) , Penland School of Craft, Penland, NC2019Award of Merit (Painting), Sausalito Arts Festival, Sausalito, CA 2019Mayor’s Choice Award, Artisphere, Greenville, SC2018MAC Project Grant Recipient, Metropolitan Arts Council, Greenville, SC2015-2016Brandon Fellow, Greenville Center for the Creative Arts, Greenville, SC2014Jack Stewart Memorial Prize, The Cooper Union, NYC, NY2011Irma Weiss Cultural Fellow, The Cooper Union, NYC, NYExhibitions2019Artisphere (Juried Show), Main Street, Greenville, SCTempo (performance), Savereign, Greenville, SCBig and Tall (two person show), Junto & Southern Bleachery, Taylors, SCSouth Carolina Festival of Flowers (Juried Show), Greenwood, SCSausalito Arts Festival (Juried Show), Sausalito, CAIndie Craft Parade (Juried Show), Furman University, Greenville, SCGreenville Open Studios, Greenville, SCRhymes With Orange (solo show), Art and Light Gallery, Greenville, SC2018WITNESS MATERIAL/MATERIAL WITNESS (performance), Knockdown Center, Queens, NYWet Paint, Center Stage, Greenville, SCAs the Crow Flies (solo show), Art and Light Gallery, Greenville, SCIndie Craft Parade (Juried Show), Southern Bleachery at Taylors Mill, Taylors, SCGreenville Open Studios, The Village Studios, Greenville, SCIn Flight (collaboration with Darin R.
