Around sixty works exist. There is no house style, and that is the position.

Edit Bors spent four decades as a journalist in Hungary and ten years in an intentional community in southern India before she ever picked up a brush. She paints as Nana Bors, without training, without correction, and without a plan for what any given work will become. The results are organised into six series, edited down from the full body of work.
