Gail Folwell
Gail Folwell studied at the University of Denver and earned a BFA in 1983. She is an artist, designer, and sculptor from Boulder, Colorado who, in 1995, took a one-day class on clay sculpting for bronze casting and walked away from a successful graphic design career to immerse herself in fine art.
Folwell’s public and private installation clients include Denver Art Museum, University of Notre Dame, Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Vail Resorts. Her work is about the human experience, body language, spirit, mind, and interaction. She sculpts abstractly figurative concept-driven works. She seeks to convey a cause for ‘WE’ where ‘’US and THEM’ is the overwhelming norm.
As with sports, music, and performance, Art is a power that unifies. Her work is known to inspire, teach and heal.. She has received numerous design awards from the Art Directors Club of Denver, Art Directors Club of New York, Art Directors Club of Los Angeles Art, Direction Magazine, NY, Print Communications, CA, Denver Advertising Federation, CO, and Type Directors Club NY, NY.

What brings me here? An athlete and artist from my earliest recollection, I sculpt, draw, paint, design and play. I’ve frequented the Roaring Fork Valley since my twenties, at that time a Canadian attending or teaching at DU. I was first lured to Aspen by the skiing and friends, then I chaperoned design students to my first Aspen Design Conference, learned how to waterski on Reudi, moved to Woody Creek to do the graphics and signage for Kenichi and everyone’s pièce de résistance, I skied here for a season which secured this Valley’s position on every bucket list, vision board and wish list ever since. A confluence of brilliant minds from a venerable list of disciplines in an epic playground of outdoor sports, it was only a matter of time and money. So here I am.
Great art comes from within and this place inspires on all levels. Art, like architecture, music, film, sport, and dance, is a bridge from one heart to the many.
We are one tribe. We care, we think, we feel, and when we align, we are limitless. I make art about that.
