Gail Folwell is a contemporary sculptor who holds a BFA from the University of Denver and has had an accomplished career in graphic design as well as extensive university and college teaching experience before she began sculpting full time. Her highly expressive bronze figurative work is full of inspiring energy and emotion. “Design and illustration are powerful tools”, which gave Folwell “a sound understanding of anatomy and body mechanics,” she says. She finds the human body, with all of it’s musculature, speed, and grace, beautiful and inspiring. Her design approach considers the practical, emotional and environmental elements of the public art experience.

Folwell works in large and small scale, steel, aluminum and bronze. She has exhibited with The National Academy of Design and The National Sculpture Society in New York, has works in The Denver Art Museum, Colorado as well as monument, public and privately commissioned works included in collections of University of Notre Dame, University of South Alabama, Vail Valley Foundation, Bowling Green State University, The city of Frisco in Texas, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
