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.

Very gruesome looking with all that blood and you have created this very well but I couldn't add it to my favourites in case I faint again. Great imagination.

the about right . the news is slanded to tell the bad boy jack but keep the raps on his sister art work on people. jack get the big head lines and sent the Lust lettler to some low English officer to tell him to "Caught me if you can" while his sister just be a cut up on the lime lights and shadows of her big Brother Jack. She most likely out live Jack

I love Gun's comment that you're turning into a dangerous woman! This is a blast! J. almost seems to be saluting, like, "yeah, you got it! Ahm here!" You let the blood drip from her lips and knife with thick play, like you painted it on extra brightly. And the rest of it is a kid's carnival of scary images: Great sinister reds, fire, that (I think) severed head (if it ain't severed, he's sure not havin' a great day!), those crazy Greek columns, the cracks in the 'canvas', and of course bats. And you got this whole spouting-lights thing goin' on in the lower parts...very oil-paint-like. Man, your October images are burnin' up the place. This is great. A lotta fun to look at. Viva la Mina-Autumn!
