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.

    Open Studio On-Line

    Just the photos for now. I just lost my entire post. Check back later if you want to actually know more about my studio. I am at a conference and hoping to learn more about photoshop today.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    What do I love about my studio?

    Space, space, space.

    Space to teach (see the flyer to download on the sidebar).

    My old art cabinet (the drawers) that I have hauled around for 40 years.

    Collections and space to explore.

    The view outside the studio!

    Cleaned up and ready for a workshop, above.

    I'm sooooooo jealous of that wonderful cabinet your TV rests on. Thanks for sharing your space.

    Thanks Rebecca. I will take you up on that offer! And, Lori, that art cabinet, as my text now adds, is one of my absolute prize possessions. I bought it at a school auction in 1970!
    I am on my ways to visit Judi and others, can't wait to see all the studios!

    The view outside must be such an inspiration to what you do inside, in such a wonderful space!

    I would haul that cabinet anywhere I went as well ~ it is sensational, as is your studio. The view takes my breath away. I am sure you never take it for granted!

    Thanks for sharing your very inspiring space. It reflects your work and spirit beautifully.

    I'm still visiting studios! Wow, you really do have fabulous space, and what a wonderful drawer cabinet! And it's great you included your furry studio mates. (I hope mine aren't jealous; I didn't include them in my studio pics but did post them earlier) I hope you do post more about your studio.
