  • Weblusions page - Fantastic artistic visions by Moyra
    I owe incredilble artist, Moyra, my intense gratitude for so graciously allowing me to use her beautiful Sekhmet painting for the 'Virtual Temple'. I love this illustration because Moyra captured much more than just Sekhmet's image. She was able to capture Sekhmet's very essence. This iilustration is available from Weblusions as a 13 x 19 inch print, output at 32 milion colours. (copyright Moyra, Weblusions)
  • Tina Houk's Artwerks Site! Great artwork from a visionary artist! Highly recommended!
