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 wrong with silence - you speak with your art. Ah... to be swept away to magical places of beauty and adventure. This reminds me of Emerald City in Oz. Really original artwork. CC

a real fairy tale, Mina!

Carry me away to fairytale castles where giants and ogres and the wee folk dwell Carry me away to lands beyond where dreams may come and adventures await Carry me away to distant realms where all dreamy eyed I sleep enchanted in far away lands I have all but dimly forgotten now that youth and imagination have left me abandoned to this mundane world where such things can no longer be Yet deep down inside I still believe In fairytale castles and lands beyond O carry me O carry me away to that land beyond the borders of my waking day back again into the realm of childhood dream!

Amazing work Mina. There's really some dimension in this one. And i think it makes it very powerful with the limited colours used. No wonder you were selected artist of the month in january 2008. :)
