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.

Here is a small collector's item. I am very admiring on the quality of the realization of this face of masked woman. Its eyes beseech an unspecified leniency. The glance is not erased at all by the mask. The features of the bottom of face are splendid, and of an incomparable smoothness the opposition between the bottom and the face is a development of the situation this being. Splendid!!!

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse' out of the corner of my eye....I turned to look but it was gone' I cannot put my finger on it now' The child has grown the dream has gone..... A wonderful and deep Image...It just brought the Dream Back.
