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.

beautiful work a critical comment: a case of less would be more.I used my hands and 'cropped' out the birds and the planets and the image is more powerful.

I saw this because "caressing the dark" has mention on his home page. He was right, I would not be disappointed in viewing. Fine work.

This powerful God seems to materialize out of a root of branches & blasting light, and she swirls in wonderful shamanistic power. As in so many of your works, you design your pages brilliantly, turning collage into an amazingly integrated whole. Your textures are immensely rich, in fact you're an immensely rich artist, Mina. And here, from your blood-veined sun to your cubist backgrounds, you bring a vast collection of images under one roof—and it radiates. Mythic & powerful & fun.
