In real life, Evonne Heyning is an all-around creative guru. Artist, filmmaker, screenwriter, producer and humanitarian, she heads AMO Studio and Amoration, a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles that uses the creative arts in digital and real-life environments for social change. Since 2005, she has explored Second Life for her work, a virtual world created by Linden Lab with over 3 million users from all over the world. There Evonne flies as the green fairy avatar In Kenzo. Though she has changed her appearance in Second Life, the core of her work stays the same: creativity using all that tools available for social change.

Evonne said she is now dedicating more of her time in Second Life and has recently collaborated with an organization called Betterworld to produce the Camp Darfur simulation. Amoration, her organization, produces the Manormeta series and machinima, movies that are filmed in Second Life in cooperation with volunteers and production experts, some even from Hollywood.
