Gloria Hernando (b. 1990, Miami, Florida) is a Dominican American artist and designer whose interdisciplinary practice bridges fine art, interiors, and creative direction. Through symbolic imagery, materiality, and storytelling, her work explores the sacred relationship between the human spirit and natural world. Working across painting, sculpture, spatial design, and publication, Gloria is guided by a belief in beauty as a catalyst for curiosity, wonder, and renewal. She is dedicated to crafting both objects and environments that cultivate a sense of reflection and reveal the invisible threads that connect people, place, and spirit.
Gloria earned a Bachelor of Design from the University of Florida and studied architecture at the University of Miami and Parsons School of Design in Paris. She established her independent studio in 2018 where she merged her design profession with self-taught artistic practice as Latin for Glory. Her work has been presented in group exhibition at institutions such as the Orlando Museum of Art and the BASS Museum. She has presented solo exhibitions Seven Fires and Let There Be Light in Miami, along with Terra Mater in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Alongside her studio practice, she has completed residential and commercial commissions both across South Florida and internationally. Gloria self-published The Magical World of Orchids, an interactive coloring book and workshop that is currently available at the Perez Art Museum Miami, Miami Beach Botanical Garden, and Books and Books.
