Rita developed her special artistic talent at such a young age. This is a very complex and poignant painting as well as a glimpse into the “real life” of a belly dancer. I would love to see more of Rita’s work.
This painting is so full of depth and beauty it brings tears to my eyes. I also know the depth of
sacrifice Neenah has gone through for her girls, marriage, career and the performing arts.

Dynamite does come in small packages.
Hello Neenah! What a beautiful painting. It’s the perfect combination of Frieda Kahlo and Mary Cassat.
It would help if I could spell. Mary Cassatt and Frida Kahlo.
