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.

I know I have had many lucid dreams. I love the ones where I can change the outcome. This captures the feeling perfectly and I love the timeless quality of it. Gorgeous work again, Mina. Love the colors and textures and the main character is lovely. I'm behind in all the galleries, but I'll be back.

Mina, I have had many many lucid dreams, some just come while I am sitting and some induced while doing trance work. You have done a great job of capturing the essence of the experience and this can only come from someone who has been there and lived it. I am not going to try to analyze what you have done here because I think that would only denegrate the intent. But I will say "You done good girl" :-)
