bio:

At age 6 on a family trip to Disney World, Bokor’s parents, knowing his interest in Indians, drove their camper off the main road to visit an Indian trading post run by the Seminole Nation. While in this trading post, he wandered over to a Seminole man and just began speaking to him. The man turned out to be the great grandson of Chief Osceola and ask Bokor’s parents if he was theirs (Apparently, he had a very unusually deep knowledge of Native Americans for a 6 yr. old, and this lead to an invitation back to the reservation to meet elders and go on a round up and receive names). Bokor’s interest and passion with Native Americans brought him very quickly from the idyllic image to the tragic history of our indigenous people. This interest laid the groundwork for the way he thinks and observe. Bokor found another passion and dear friends in the hardcore punk scene in Detroit and Washington DC in the early 1980's, which fit nicely into what his previous passion had taught him. After graduating art school, he began a successful career in Advertising and finding my wonderful wife, Jacqueline. They have three equally wonderful children, now all grown up. In the middle of all that normalcy and contentment, Bokor experienced a great tragedy as a family. The home they had been restoring, a 1777 salt marsh farm in Cape Ann, Massachusetts, burned to the ground in the middle of the night. Their hero of a dog, Boris, saved their lives in the fire, waking them up to allow them to just narrowly escape, sadly Boris did not. Bokor’s career in advertising has span over 30 years, winning numerous national and global industry awards. Bokor shifted careers to work in philanthropy, still using his skills to create campaigns to bring awareness to causes that his clients are passionate about. As an artist, Bokor is always creating, however, he does not regularly show his work nor have it any galleries. Bokor’s first public piece was called ERASE and was entered in the 2013 ArtPrize, being picked up and shared on dozens of social media and news outlets across the World. ERASE was featured prominently as one of two apposing concepts in America’s Gun Violence epidemic in the Documentary NO CONTROL.
