BiographyBorup, Connie McCormick (1945-). A fine "tonalist" style combined with a unique color sense and devotion to the textured plane characterize the work of this talented and accomplished Salt Lake City artist. A University of Utah garduate in both the German language (B.A., 1967) and art (B.F.A., 1975), Connie Borup has been an exceptionally fine high school art teacher in this area (Rowland Hall, Salt Lake City ) since 1973; she also teaches many excellent classes for the Department of Art at the U of U during the present period. Represented by Phillips Gallery in Salt Lake City in recent years, she has works in public and private collections in New York, Dallas, Copenhagen, Munich, Berlin, etc., and here in Utah. In 1992, Borup earned an F.F.A. from the University of Utah in painting that had tremendous impact on her work. She was a perfectly effective artist among us before; she is now a landscape painter of power in the expression of atmospheric harmonies over field and trees and expanse well known to this Utahn originally from the small town of Kaysville, Utah.
