Galina Todorova, works as an artist in Bulgaria where she was born and received her formal training. Galina translates her Orthodox Christian belief in life as a holy experience into the language of Visual Art through her paintings and sensitive drawings and prints. Yoga, practiced since her early teen years in Bulgaria, also inspires many of Galina Todorova’s works of art. In her words, “Some of my artworks are created especially with gratitude for the protection and support I have had in my life and for the benefits of practicing Yoga and Art. I dedicate my painting, Candle Light, to the necessity of a strong connection between human body and soul.”

Living in the USA for six years from 2004 to 2010, Galina Todorova actively participated in our local arts community while working at the Saint Louis Art Museum as a gallery attendant and earning her USA citizenship. NorthWest Coffee Company and the ADMIN Gallery of the St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley exhibited solo shows of her work in 2011. In 2009, Galina Todorova received an outstanding artist award from the Saint Louis Artist’s Guild for her entry in the ‘Portraits Around the World’ exhibit.
