Eva Borka is a Wellington based artist and poet and multiple award winning author of three books of her paintings and poems.  She was born in Chile of Hungarian parents, immigrating to New Zealand as a child.  

People are the main inspiration for Eva's work - the human quest for meaning and belonging, relationships, life's journey in all its complexities, challenges and joys, those transcendent moments.  She writes and paints from the heart with vibrant images drawing inspiration from folk art traditions especially Hungarian.

Eva's professional life has been varied including senior roles in the corporate world, years as a business consultant, but always painting and writing poetry whenever possible.  Eventually the call of the creative became too strong and she stepped away from her business career to open a studio gallery.

Eva's paintings have been exhibited in Europe and regularly in various cities around New Zealand, the work is held in both public and private collections locally and internationally.
