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.

Face makes me think of my Sister's kid... She cheerleads for the Kansas City Chiefs - It has to be a horrible year for her - lol... amazing thing is she's done this for 5 years - not too many pros last that long... the other sad thing is, I haven't seen her since she's been a Chief... Last time I left state was over 5 years ago to get married in Vegas - that was a trip. Nice, good looking picture.

Gorgeous work of art!

Wow, this one grabs you and holds you tight. I think it is because the relatively clean and bright face stands out from the grungy background despite the faded sepia work.

I just love your style--I don't always comment, but I do always enjoy how rich your images look, so complicated, layered and lit from within!

This is pretty, Mina!! I love her face, it's very unique. The colours are great (as usual, hehehe). Excellent work, hon.
