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.

Beautiful Mina! Love the composition and the colors are very supportive of your concept. Those eyes really zap me! I can hardly wait to be one of those invisible travelers, but I have to for now. Wonderful gift for Nancy. Hugs, Suzanne

SOEUR DU MIEN!!!! Here.. my heart...take it! From the moment I saw the title, my breath became a lost thing. So, I opened the larger view...and have sat here, absorbing (deliberately!) for forever now...all that this is and represents, every tiny innuendo (including the title..which made me smile a knowing sort of smile!..the wisps of masking...and, ahhh, those eyes!). And, yes, Mina, I now have, from you, all the beautiful and loving energy packed within it, carefully placed inside by you as you created her, from start to finish. And, I know that by the time these words make it to the page, in return, you'll have received it as well, sent back to you, at LEAST threefold.. :))) There is so very much to say in response to this, that I feel as if I'm fumbling for words to express just how much, and what, this means to me...for appropriate words of spirit...soulful words from that deepest of feeling places inside....because Thank You seems so inept and frail. So, instead, from that inner space, I say simply this: The fortune of even encountering you, the sense of kindredness between us which I recognize, and learning of the riches of your spirit...has brought a sense of grounding...and then sprouted soft tendrils, to grow and wind about my heart. Here's to your exquisite, boundless talent (OMG's it IS!)...and to sisters, who, I sense, have walked together down a thousand prior roads. By your image...and your presence...I am honored. Thank you!!! Hugs! :)))

I love the sense of movement and creation. For me, the face is almost secondary to the swirl of power. That lovely line is mesmerizing! Beautiful work.
