Florence Borman
Bio:
Florence Borman is a long-time Montevideo resident. About ten years after
her retirement from teaching in the local school district, she decided
to try her hand at watercolor painting. She considers herself fortunate
to have spent many hours under the tutelage of Alexandria artists Ellen
Eilers and Janell Sundberg, Terry Stanczak of Mesa, AZ, and David Butt
of Regina, Saskatchewan. Her horizons have broadened in workshops by Mary
Ann Beckwith, Grace Haverty, Jim McChessney, Bridget Austin, Karen Knutson,
Katia Andreeva and Ellen Jean Diederich.
A three-season member of the Alexandria Brush and Palette, Florence benefits
weekly from these artists' camaraderie and expertise. She has participated
in their exhibits at the Douglas County Fair, Alexandria's Art in the
Park, and the Douglas County Library. She is a member of the summerArt
Gallery located at Carlos Creek Winery. In the past, she has won ribbons
at the Chippewa County Fair, the Hawley Art Show and the Staples Rotary
Arts and Crafts Show.
Of her work, Florence says, "Watercolor is a very satisfying medium.
Each finished painting, whether successful or a throw-away, surprises
me. The difficult part is disciplining myself to regular practice, something
I continue to work on."
