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.

Not much today? I like this... feel like you've come accross a cabin deep in the frozen lands and come accross a woman stareing out the window waiting for the sun - she froze of course - pretty sad. It kinda feels like the mood I'm in as of late. Will the sun come back out, so we can get out and Play? Time will tell. excellent upload. YOU HAVE BEEN FAVORITIZED!!!

I recommend she fly around the world on a Global Express executive jet. She'll feel warmed and can address the scientists with her tale of adventure when whe returns. (I actually knew a high school guidance counselor like this who took tramp steamer trips.)
