Gloria Kenyon

Born in Queens, New York, Gloria Kenyon spent her childhood on Long Island and moved to North Texas as a teenager where she continues to reside. She earned both her BFA and MFA from the University of North Texas and has been an artist her entire life and educator most of her adult life, teaching at University of North Texas, Bishop Lynch High School, Tarrant County College, and the Hockaday School. She also held a position as computer animator at Reunion Arena in Dallas for six years. Currently working exclusively in painting and photography, Kenyon also spent time as a performance artist and installation artist earlier in her career. Kenyon’s work has been exhibited at the Marfa Invitational, the Dallas Video Festival, the Trammel Crow Center, Alternate Gallery, 500X, Plaza of the Americas, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Fort Worth Community Arts Center. Her most recent body of work explores the interrelationships between photography and painting, giving a serious conceptual nod to Post Impressionism and to Pictorialism—painting with photographic elements and photography with painterly elements.
