Brother:
What does Mindy do?
Personally, I imagine she lives a rather "arty" life. She eats light healthy foods, does lots of running, indulges in fine wines and liquors whenever she can. As KRS-1 would put it, "She's a philosopher, she thinks very [insert turn-table scratch here], very deeply." I imagine she combines a thought, concept, or perception with an aesthetic to create a unified piece of work with a specified meaning. Mindy does "art", and I think her art has aesthetics at its core, in that she tries to create pretty things, but she also spends a lot of time thinking about what they mean. Overall, Mindy's life seems to be rather free, freedom of thought and action, hence the light foods. Of course, there is a lot of control, but that is exercised by herself, not upon her.

Father:
Mindy teaches drawing (life drawing, I think), showing young aspiring artists the rudiments of drawing, including shading and dimension. She demonstrates different facets of these skills, monitors the work of the students and provides guidance.
Mindy teaches yoga. She allows the group to center, concentrating on breath and their bodies, showing them how to stretch and attain different positions both for strength and flexibility. She demonstrates the positions in front of the class while providing verbal instruction, and gives personal help and instruction when needed. At the end of the class she "centers them down" allowing the students the ability to feel the soothing impact of the yogic practice.
Mindy creates multi-media art works. She films with her digital camera, sometimes impromptu, common subject matter of things around her, sometimes staged, choreographed things. She likes to transfer this material into a computer or other program where it can be manipulated.
Mindy paints with oil. She likes to paint things with patterns that repeat, but also vary in interesting ways.
Mindy cooks, using her hands, eyes and taste buds to create beautiful, appetizing meals from fresh, organic ingredients
