Paul E. Borawski

A recovering association executive, Paul finds inspiration in the sun, water, woods and people who fill his life with love.

Turning to wood is a rediscovery of childhood memories with his grandfather, who first put a saw and hammer in Paul’s hands to fashion every imaginable wish of a seven-year-old from recycled fruit crates and straightened nails.

These fond memories let to a lifetime of intermittent woodworking. Life now affords Paul time to explore his passion for wood and the beauty within. His favorite days are spent in his studio. Paul and his wife, Judy, grew up in Suburban Detroit in the Sixties. They now live in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Their three adult children, Kathryn, Joseph, and John all live outside the state. Paul has no formal training in art of design. His work flows from his heart. Or someplace deeper.

Paul has been showing at Edgewood Orchard Galleries since 2026.
