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 mysterious and very cool, excellent. I voted for Gore in 2000, I couldn't in good concious go for Kerry so I didn't vote in 2004, Yesterday I would have voted a hundred times for Obama if I could have but it wasn't necessary, the Country spoke loud and clear, "Yes We Can". Peace

Cool looking piece for sure. Thank the Gods America woke up from its nightmare and routed the Republicans. Speaking for myself you people have restored the faith. In Canada the poles were 80% for Obama. Rock on USA
