April 9 marks the birth day of Vadim Bora. On the Vadim Bora Facebook page, we have been posting Seven Days, Seven Self-Portaits. They will be repeated here beginning tomorrow. Today, we remember him in the light.

"In the end, life is quite short. What you leave behind is your legacy -- and for an artist, that is his soul poured onto canvas, sculpted into clay and stone." VB (1954-2011)

The gallery is open Monday-Friday, 10-4. Besides landscapes, this soulful exhibition includes waterscapes,  allegorical works, sculpture, and a wall of select figurative works and self-portraits that serve to illustrate Bora's styles that transcend subject matter.
