Rita Borofsky

Painting and drawing gives me deep satisfaction. The process of creating art makes life more meaningful to me, and motivates me to further explore and participate in life.

I am of Jewish Russian heritage. Recently, I visited Ukraine and Russia, to connect with my ancestry. I was born in Galveston, Texas, and since the age of 9 have lived in the San Fernando Valley. I majored in art at UCLA, later to become an elementary school teacher. I am now retired from teaching, and have delved into painting. I am a member of Artist Coop 7, and have been exhibiting and painting with this group.
