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.

Amazing and beautiful work. I love that finish and her expression will keep me guessing for quite a while. Very intrigueing.

This image is beautiful! Her look is almost one of a damsel in distress, yet sexy and alluring. I love the idea of the veil, adds an air of mysique about her. Seems like this image itself has many stories to tell. The colours you've chosen are beautiful and most perfect, so natural and soft. Not to mention, absolutely beautiful textures and detail. This is a masterpiece!
