The art I make is the result of a life-long love of pattern, texture and color. How I teach is a skill honed by experience (I started teaching creative arts to younger kids when I was 12). After earning a B.A. in Studio Arts from Trinity University, I helped lead an internationally recognized educational foundation, designed curriculum exhibits for schools and other institutions, wrote and edited for a major daily newspaper, opened the San Antonio Children's Museum and then, a dozen years ago, took the scary but essential (for me) leap to become a fulltime artist and art teacher.

About This Blog

This weblog is about the maker's life. The teacher's path. The stitching and dyeing and printing of the craft of art cloth and art quilt. The stumbling around and the soaring, the way the words and the pictures come together. Poetry on the page and in the piecing of bright scraps together. The inner work and the outer journeys to and from. Practicalities and flights of fancy and fearful grandeur, trivial pursuits and tactile amusements. Expect new postings two or three times a week, unless you hear otherwise.

    Fabulous Fiber Arts Sale

    Fiber Artists of San Antonio held a first ever holiday sale on Saturday in a private home in Alamo Heights, one of San Antonio's distinctive bedroom cities. For a first-time effort, put together very nicely by secretary Carolene Zehner and other members on a short time line and tiny budget, funded by those members who participated, the event seemed very well received, with respectable sales for many, good conversation and exposure for all. I enjoyed being part of the event as much for the opportunity to see wonderful work by members of the group, as for the chance to show and sell.  In order of photos shown: Liz Napier and scarves (she arranged for the wonderful space); Amy Jones and her whimsical creatures; Stephanie Stokes' wearable, felted work; Rita Crosby's hats; Sherry Tolar's Wild Women; Lisa Mittler's art quilts (just 6 of the 20 plus artists who participated):
