Artist, maker, teacher, author, head cook and bottlewasher.

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.

    Yikes. Where I've been in cyberspace

    DateMonday, November 17, 2008 at 06:05PM

    No posting for two weeks, that's a sad state of affairs. But, I've been busy in another sector of cyberspace (among about a million other things including parties, memorial services, outings, FASA's Holiday Sale -- but that's enough about me, how about you this time of year? - I thought so).

    So, take a look at the new New World Kids site, not quite up and running and taking orders, but on its way. We'll have the books in hand (or at least in the Austin warehouse) on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, assuming all goes as planned. By then, we'll have a Paypal link so you can order at the site (and here on this one, too).

    Please take a look and see what else you'd like to see on the site. We have some free downloadable excerpts we plan to add, and a few other ideas in store as well. But, in order to quiet the fears that I have dropped off the face of the ether, here's a slightly premature link to New World Kids.

    UPDATE on TUESDAY:

    I'm still tinkering with the New World Kids site and don't have an order form enabled yet -- promise, it's coming soon. There is also a PayPal link coming to my sidebar, but PLEASE hold off a few days, as the shipping and tax aren't quite all right yet. I'm peddling as fast as I can. NOTE TO SELF: e-commerce has its challenges. Take time. Breathe.
