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
Ă‚Â 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.

great image, mina. i think the result is what counts, not the medium used. for me an image should tell a story and maybe that is 'art'

Mina changes the times... fantastic

Glue glass with wire makes a fitting addendum to fishnet stockings. No rents in this. No snares or stretches. The integrity is reliable as engineering.

Dont worry Mina, eventually we will get 3D up there with the masters, I would like to see all those that say its not an art put together one 3D render lol.

Magnificient mood in it, very beautiful. The problem what is art and what not is insoluble, very personally and in fact uninportant. Mostly time will tell. It has only consequences for the artist himself, when the "eperts" qualify it as real art, it's an advantage for the artist himself, being recognized. We've seen the same with photographic art. Anyhow, for me, your creations are works of art!

I guess they have to because they have no photo art at all anymore if they ban digital art in the future. I see professional photographers with digital cameras already (big ones) so give it a few years and there is only digital that is in use. Your art is so exceptional and beautiful; it’s a real pleasure to look at it. Lovely artwork!

Stunning image!! Looks like a big promo wall on a building :)

Really like what you have done to the photo, Mina! No art is reality and all art is reality. Politicians are everywhere, that's where the trouble is.

This one is so mod looking. Love how you designed it. I love hearing about art places that are now accepting digital art. Little do artist realize, digital artwork isn't just some copy and paste. Many digital art pieces are masterpieces and right here on Rendo I'm seeing that more and more. Thanks for that info. Great work Mina...

Very well done.

Marvelous image, love the way you portrayed the girl. And it's so nice to hear that digital art is slowly being recognized outside of the internet.
