About

Richard Borowski was born in Edmonton, grew up in Mundare, Alberta and in 1970 moved back to Edmonton to attend the University of Alberta. After completing a B.Ed. degree in 1974, he was employed as a teacher with Edmonton Catholic Schools until 1978. In 1979, Borowski returned to the University of Alberta in the Faculty of Arts. After two years of study, as a printmaking major, he returned to the classroom to spend thirty-two years with the Elk Island Catholic School Board as an art educator with students from grades seven to twelve. Upon his retirement from teaching in 2006, he has maintained a full-time home based studio practice. Besides drawing and painting, most of his efforts have gone into creating lino and woodcut prints at SNAP in Edmonton. Borowski’s work is held in numerous private collections.
