Gary Borse

Gary Borse has exhibited his award-winning work in public art, solo, invitational, and juried group shows, for over forty years. Known for a voracious use of color and uncontrollable palette, his work is focused on the energy and spiritual essence of the landscape. His award-winning work has appeared in museums, on the covers of magazines, postcards and posters throughout the southeast. His work is included in the permanent art collection of The State of Florida, The University of Florida, and in many prestigious private and corporate art collections nationwide. He has an Associates Degree in Commercial Art and Design from The Chicago Academy of Fine Arts.His stunning images depict the color and vibrancy of the landscape in a different dimension that takes you into your own feelings while you are drawn into the work. The series of glazes reveal other colors that have come before, to create movement and vitality at the surface of the piece. The work comes alive with passages that take you on a color journey into space and light. As a conservationist, and steward of the land, his farm is an inspiration as well as the surrounding area, where he participates in events that support the protection of our environment.
