To all of my mother's Renderosity friends:
It saddens me to no end to tell you that my mother, Mina, passed on May 31st, from endometrial cancer. She is survived by my father, Roger, and myself. I apologize for not letting you all know sooner, but her passing has left me with a broken heart and it is very hard to write this, even now. I don't suppose there will ever come a time that it will be easier.
I know how much she loved you all, how much it meant to her to have met such wonderful people, and how much it meant to her to create & share her art with you. I am leaving her work here for a while, as tribute to her, her beauty, her talent & her love.
Brightest Blessings to you all!
Heather
 Mina's daughter
Thanks to all for stopping by and hope you enjoy your visit.

"I get out my work and have a show for myself before I have it publicly.
I make up my own mind about how good or bad or indifferent it is.
After that the critics can write what they please.
I have already settled it for myself so flattery
and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.

Mina, you couldn't have done a more beautiful image to give me. This has all the grace, magic, and romance of the tales of Sheherazade in "1001 Nights". I am so happy I inspired you so you could create this beauty. Your narrative is perfect and sets the scene wonderfully. Thank you, my dear Mina for your thoughtful gift and friendship. Hugs, Suzanne x:)

The story is a great one, but your image is amazing. Although it's not dark, I think it is one of your most beautiful, Mina. Her expression and her eyes say it all. Inspirational, Dear Lady.

Just so Magically charged! The sky appears made of black velvet, pinpricked with stars lit from behind by the stagelights, as the actors await the opening of this nights Magic to begin! Her expression is exquisite, and her ornaments perfect for the setting! Shh! It begins..
