Gail Borowski earned a Bachelor
of Fine Arts degree from Detroit’s College for Creative Studies, where she became fascinated with connecting people to creativity. After acquiring an additional certification from Wayne State University, and earning her Masters of Art in Education from Michigan State University, Gail crafted a delicate balance between teaching, prolific studio creativity, and motherhood.
“I find inspiration in the natural, spiritual, and crafted beauty around me.
Within each creation, I strive to celebrate color married with theme. I call it a ‘passion of reaction’. I share my inspiration with my 7th through 9th grade students, and with guests of the Detroit Institute of Art’s Drop In Workshop Studios, where I teach drawing and studio art. In turn, my students remind me to stay open to exploration and to never stop being curious.”
Gail’s artwork hangs in numerous Michigan galleries, including The Higher Art Gallery in Traverse City, The Scarab Club, Rochester College’s Hamm Library, Shelby Township Community Center, the 555 Gallery, The Woods Gallery in Huntington Woods, ArtHouse in Northville, Tangent Gallery in Detroit and Rochester’s Firebrick Gallery. She was featured in the 2016 Michigan Fine Arts Competition at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center, an exhibit juried by Terrence Hammonds. Her illustrations have also been published in a children’s book entitled “Minnie’s Pearl” by author Denise Coughlin. She is always thrilled to share her images in new and surprising locations.
As an Art educator, Gail has also published articles in “SchoolArts”, a professional online and printed publication of Davis Art for Art educators. She is also published in “Education Closet”, an art education online professional platform promoting Science Technology Engineering Art and Math (STEAM) lesson plans and concepts.
