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.

This has so many good things going for it. Colors and textures, negative and postives. The human within a magical/natural world. Wonderful. I view it and I feel warmed, inspired - thanks.

an introspective vision of organic forms and almost ice-like patterns emanating everywhere. You show us again how beautifully you work with close-knit palettes, how you resonate with their subtle variants and create a whole world with them. The lighter blues are extremely delicate; the darker ones, quite deep; your blue-greens have the delicacy of silk, and your deep greens—modeled here with genuine passion—feel like places of deep repose. It's an oceany vision, filled with speckles that always feel like stars in your work, and that touch of magic—the swirl of lights on the right!—that speaks to the child in all of us. Another beauty from your inner eye, and I like the heart there, too.

I forgot you were in Florida!! I'm SO glad you came through it all okay .. no damage to anything I hope! Don't go to the North Pole, come her to Western New York! It's wonderful! No hurricanes, no major floods, no major anything. Well .. the occaisional blizzard, but nothing like they get in the midwest! A beautiful cool evening image! She must be taking a dip in the pool, or the Gulf waters!
