Feathers Boa announces early retirement from Second Life
It’s always sad to see people leave Second Life and when Second Life looses great talent. Feathers Boa has announced an early retirement from Second Life apparently after nearly 4 years of “unbounded creativity, meeting so many wonderful and talented people, and learning soooo much”. Feathers Boa was part of the “vibrant and wonderful SL arts community” and i’m sure many will miss Feathers Boa.

Hello everyone,
It is with great sadness that I announce my early retirement from the vibrant and wonderful SL arts community.
After nearly 4 years of unbounded creativity, meeting so many wonderful and talented people, and learning soooo much. I find that my real world is simply too busy to devote the time and energy needed to keep up with the virtual world too.
The people I’ve met here have literally changed my life. I met my future RL boss here, my RL life partner and friends that I will take with me wherever life leads me next. Friends that I will forever keep in my heart even when Feathers Boa is a dim memory. Being a part of Caerleon, The Art Door and all the shows and galleries who welcomed me in (an experienced 20 year old girl with no track record and no clue).
I can never thank you all enough. In the coming months, I will be closing my gallery, my website and shutting down pretty much all aspects of my busy virtual life. I will be selling off all my “originals” and having one last party and gallery show of new work. Then my avatar will ride off into the sunset.
I will never forget the beauty, drama, laughter, tears and all the things I’ve learned and experienced here in this crazy virtual world. And I hope you won’t forget me. The little punk girl with the big mouth, the cute shoes and the huge…paintbrush.
Hugs always,
Feathers Boa (aka Mary Linley)

I am so sad to see this site go. The art represented here used the virtual environment in a way that can not be done in the real world. She get it! I recommend visiting the sim before it is gone.
I am deeply, deeply saddened to see Feathers leaving Second Life. Her art is inspirational, eye-opening, provocative, unique. You can’t do this kind of art in real life. Wherever you go, Mary, thanks for the wonderful memories of your time in Second Life.
Wow, we will miss you Feathers…… just don’t delete your avi, you might need it.
Feathers,
Cool vid! Nice work. You will be back, just my prediction…
She will be missed alot.
