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 think you tidied up before you took this shot. I somehow pictured you having a magical type of computer because of the beautiful work you create though I can see the little critters probably give you some ideas. My work area gets so chaotic I have bits of paper and CD's everywhere. You have made me think I should stop and do some housework.

Kind of freaky to expose one self in a "so personal space". Then again, yours is nice. Smile!

Oh Mina, I dare not! A friend came to visit and said, someone would think this is a studio, and you live and paint and sleep in here...I'm with Tara..clean up would have to happen, or possibly demolition... ;) Thanks for sharing your creative space with us. Great idea!

It has been very interesting in deed to see most individuals work area at home. It allows the viewer a little more understanding of the artist. Thank you for sharing. egmont

Oh my gosh, MINA! It's so neat! I need a fork lift and a back hoe and a dumptster outside my window to clear some space so I can actually get a photo of my um, err, "work station". But give me a year or so .. I'm still working on clearing out the dust from the corners of my brain so my poor Muse can work!

Oh yeah, I think we are all a little bit nosey, thanks for the invite into your space, I have taken a pic of my sty and will post tomorrow, if the wife finds out she will break my neck, or something along those lines. I never tidy, I just throw mail and allsorts on my desk. Yours is a palace compared to mine, you will see, with me you get warts n' all. Bravo!!!!!
