Bornstein’s artworks range from performance art and installations, to artist books, to sculptures and public art.Born in the Bronx, New York, Gloria Bornstein attended Hunter College in New York City and earned a Master of Arts degree in psychology from Antioch University in Seattle in 1979. She taught performance at Cornish College from 1979 to 1981 and sculpture and public art at the University of Washington from 1991 to 2005 (both in Seattle). She also practiced psychotherapy during that time.
