Mirka's windows

Recently, I visited  Heide Museum of Modern Art.














































These windows have been painted by the wonderful
French born artist Mirka Mora, who has lived here in Melbourne since 1951.
Mirka's paintings,soft sculptures and mosaic's are enchanting (as she is ! ).  She was born in Paris in
1928, is a true bohemian, has a wicked sense of humour and still retains a delicious french accent.
We like to claim her as our own and regard her as something of a national treasure here in Australia!

 My youngest daughter gifted me with the  beautiful Mirka colouring book for Christmas.(for children and grown ups ).  My coloured pencils will never touch the pages!

I love Heide too. It has such a peaceful creative atmosphere. The food in the restaurant is pretty special as well. And Mirka is such an inspiration. She's pretty full on in person!
