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.

I identify myself very much with this image, with its meaning of isolation. The crumpled paper texture has only adds to the sadness.

Very mysterious looking, what is on her mind? Who is she reaching out to with her thoughts? Love the feel that I'm looking through a film of some kind, that smokey atmoshpere, gives it a dream like quality

Lost in a smoky dream, I see the pain that is there in the smoke.

The whole image gives me the feeling of smoke, a ghost in smoke against a wall or showing up in an old vintage photograph slowly burning. My favorite colors and the texture and effect is hypnotic. Wonderful Mina. A big 100+ :)
