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.

mina, after a long night it always brings me back to a place of the heart to see your work & its heart. This is a simple pose of curiosity and invitation (with a bit of play & dare in it), and it's awash in the most beautiful violets—saturated & pale. And your branches & shrubbery are more spirit than mass, and they shine in the most delicate ghostly sheen. And behind it all,l a moon that seems to spill into our space with tiny orbs and deep light. Not as many words today but the same love of your work. It's luminous, playful and always beautiful.

This is so wonderful Mina and so much like a beautiful painting. You always manage to put so much of your inner self in your works and give them such life.

Lovely and magical background you have painted to compliment a lovely character; who is very cute and seems, from her expression, to have a bit of mischief planned ...

It was the posee that wore those conehats while looking for her that she eventually mocked. John books first appeared in Armenia home of the coneheads.
