The Juror:  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 fine arts. In turn, my students remind me to stay open to exploration and to never stop being curious."

As an Art educator Gail 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.

​Tips for preparing your art work for online entry:

• Photograph your art work without mat or frame, and crop accordingly. Hint - try laying art on the floor and taking the photo standing over it (crop if necessary so it isn't crooked - it is better to have a sliver of missing image than a crooked entry). Photograph your piece on a cloudy day to minimize glare.
