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.

Wow dearest Mina, this certainly exemplifies the feelings of angst and apathy indicative of the dynamics inherent in grunge music! Now brought forward to graphic denouement. Well done! HUGS

Who don't have to think that one days?? Hoooo... (Défénir) its thought and to dominate its fears it is like the life of the every day like unforeseeable. All passions bring a certain fear of the unknown. Cheer I like Mile mercies my Beautiful and you merits much more and without reserves....((5++)).............................................((Qui n'as pas penser cela un jours ?? Hoooo...Défénir ses pensée et dominer ses craintes c'est comme la vie de tout les jours comme imprévisible . Toutes passions apportent une certaine peur de l'inconnu. Bravo j'aime bien .Mile mercis ma Belle et tu mérites beaucoup plus et sans réserves.... ((5++))
