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.
~Georgia O'Keeffe

(don't worry about being behind...I've barely been able to view till now, and still can't see more than a few images a night!) Another vision-painting, with beautiful algae-covered rocks—though in your visions it could be soul-covered too—a soulful green everywhere, as if it came from inside memory; air-made-tangible; more of your mysterious background forms (rocks? piers? islands?) which speak of worlds only partly visible to us; and those lovely orbs & stars floating throughout—and all accompanied by one of your ancient goddesses, emerging like a spirit out of the firmament...It has a halo-like feel, and it's silken & visceral, and gentle & quietly beautiful...
