Bora Sitar
Enduring interest in mythic and entheogenic traditions, non-duality and philosophy create subliminal investigation into the nature of reality permiating her art language. Drawing from ancient cultural traditions and contemplative inquiry, she explores the emanation of archetypes and communicates her understanding of non-duality as the essence of creative art practice.
Bora is an artist, art historian, and mentor living between Central Coast California and Prague. She maintains a private studio practice alongside colaborative work in the arts, design, and education.
Bora’s professional background includes curatorial work, gallery leadership, arts education, and interior design in both Europe and the United States. She holds an M.A. in Art History and has pursued further fine arts studies at Art Academy institutes in Prague, Minneapolis, and Boston.
Her work has been exhibited in the United States and Europe and is held in private collections.
Bora Sitar is a skilled, knowledgeable, and intuitive teacher and guide. Her understanding of human psychology enables her to find a unique way to instruct and motivate each individual to stretch their self-imposed limitations in creativity. She is skilled and fluent in a very broad spectrum of artistic media, so the scale of possibilities for her students to grow is endless.

I had the privilege of working as an intern at MB Art Association in 2020, under Bora Sitar as the acting Gallery Director. Her mentorship completely shifted the way I approach art, life, and any other challenges brought my way. Bora taught me to be confident in my strengths and to use my short-comings to my creative advantage. With her guidance I was able to accomplish the graphic design tasks given to me by the association, as well as creating my own projects and exhibiting them. I am currently completing my BA in Interdisciplinary Visual Arts and Psychology at Colorado State University to become an Art Therapist.

As a mentor, Bora has made a huge impact on my painting motivation and the quality of my art work. Like any successful coach, Bora does a wonderful job balancing between motivation and critique, between providing specific instruction and encouraging you to make your own discoveries. I would still be floundering around if not for her guidance.
