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.

Your mind is an interesting place! This is so cool! Or rather Hot! How you can think to bring such a disparate of images together in such a way they blend and just naturally seem to belong and make sense is beyond me!

Hahaha Ok if it wasn't for the fact that there is a group called smashing Pumpkins I would say a band named Burning Pumpkins would be way cool. OOh dear you did it again, what an imagination you have dear heart, with that witchy mind of yours and it shows through with such wonderful clarity and brings warmth to my soul, here! here! my fellow pagan, we are the new road to salvation. Fantastic composition and color and even more, the theme, is great. I can see you plan to burn the town that night I am betting with passion, and the elder Gods...........a 5 and then some.
