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.

    Nirvana and the Brain

    DateWednesday, March 19, 2008 at 10:16AM

    I don't have much time to comment on this TED Talk, but, for now, just watch. I'll write a post later with some of my thoughts about this and how it relates to creativity.

    Thanks for the link. I usually check on TED talks to see what is new but haven't checked lately. I can't wait for consciousness to reach a critical mass...it's about time.

    This is absolutely fantastic. I was so fascinated, having worked with people who were schizophrenic and bipolar. It helped to really clarify for me the left vs right hemispheres...oh, now I understand so much more and have a better clue as to what is happening and why...thank you for sharing this...
