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.

Nothing is real...reminds me of the Beatles Strawberry Fields Forever: Let me take you down, 'cause i'm going to strawberry fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry fields forever. Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me. Let me take you down, 'cause i'm going to strawberry fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry fields forever. No one i think is in my tree, i mean it must be high or low. That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is i think it's not too bad. Let me take you down, 'cause i'm going to strawberry fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry fields forever. Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know i know when it's a dream. I think i know i mean a 'yes' but it's all wrong, that is i think i disagree. Let me take you down, 'cause i'm going to strawberry fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry fields forever. Strawberry fields forever. p.s. lovely pic :)
