Letter
to a person lost in the world of drugs....
Collage
by Renee
Renee loved her friends dearly. Below is
a collage of photos she put together in the summer of
'05.

The memories come delicately, warmly,
Floating like July hot-air balloons into this nodding
4 o’clock day-dream
She is there,
Spirit so bright,
A smile that makes it all-right
This is the soothing an angel brings -

This
site is dedicated to Renee. She was an incredible young
woman, full of love and life. That spirit still prevails,
for those who seek it. She is my inspiration daily and
in her passing, my spirituality has grown more than I
could have ever expected. I would like to share with you
all those wonderful things Renee was about: family
& friends, music, art, poetry
(new), free spirit, and her love for
animals. ~ Blessings to you & Thanks for visiting
Renee's site.

 "Remembering
Renee".... AMS
Production Group recently wrapped a 26-week series of
30 minute episodes, The Art of Living
Gallery, exploring the healing effects that accompany
the creative process – both art and music. The series
was produced for the Veria network
whose programming focuses entirely on healthy living and wellness.
I am very honored to be a part of this series, which is airing
this fall, 2007. The interview focused on how art and the
creative process has been so important for me since Renee's
passing. It saved me in the beginning of my journey of grief,
and continues to keep me focused. I am fortunate to show my
work at a great gallery, Indigo
Gallery, in Madrid, New Mexico.
Renee
was a wonderful artist, and I remember painting with her,
and what a creative teacher she has been for me. She continually
inspires me to paint. My painting
has been the best therapy I could ever imagine.
I started the cactus painting to the left at the time of the
interview. The title, "One on One" represents many
things for me, but mostly the importance of each encounter
I have, how each encounter is an honor, and how we can change
the world, one by one. To carry this idea forward a bit, this
summer I made a Peace flag. I am now elaborating on the idea,
and it is flourishing. Check it out

Do
you believe in "Spirit"?
This story, written by portrait artist, LaDonna Vohar,
is quite incredible.

This
film was taken the summer of '05, by Renee's dad. She
loved playing the digereedoo.

My
mission is also to provide inspiration in creating
an enlightened community. It seems like an insurmountable
objective, doesn't it? I believe, however, this kind
of change can occur as we approach each encounter
with honor and gratitude. Please share this site with
others, and maybe the mission will move forward, one
by one.
Renee's favorite musician, Trey
Anastasio, played at the Fillmore in Denver, Colorado
on her birthday last year. He dedicated 2 songs
to Renee during his solo performance. Read

The above photo is of a Memorial Cross I made for Renee.
Apollo, my dog, stands guard as he has been my close companion
these past couple of years.
He has brought me much comfort each and every day as he
has licked my tears and stood by me.
Renee, we love you, always.... It has now been over
2 years.
I miss you, Always with Infinite Love, Mom.
