Rita Bolla is a painter and illustrator. A native of Budapest, she is proud of her Jewish, Romani, and Hungarian ethnic background. Rita earned an MFA at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts. Her main focus was – and remains – painting, but her projects have also included sculpture (Salzburg Academy) and printmaking (Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Marseille). Rita won scholarships throughout Europe for artist residencies. Her works have been exhibited internationally, in Hungary, Germany, England, France, Russia, Finland, and the United States. She moved to New York City in 2010, followed by whirlwind stints in San Diego and Los Angeles. When not creating art, she works in art therapy, plays in the mud, and takes a stand for Earth-rights. She currently lives with her husband, Christopher, and their two children in Rosendale, New York.
