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 it's gorgeous...those orbs & butterflies & scarves-of-consciousness (& mists undulating all over the place) are elating & inward & beautiful. She almost has them growing from her hair like a diadem. I've had those dreams, I'm sure everyone has, and they allow us to work through many feelings & layers, and they're elating & beautiful and contain the stuff visions are made of...Your dark golds & browns make it very inward, and the canvas makes it seem an aged vision (as in perfected by the passage of time). The woman is at peace and very inward. Beautiful...but saying that about your work is like calling the sun "bright". Nice to have found the ebot just as I was signing off, a nice greeting to send me on my way!
