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.

    Another Artist Profile

    DateMonday, September 21, 2009 at 07:03PM

    I have had my third artist profile published in Quilting Arts Magazine this month -- it's about Cathy Kleeman and deals primarily with her right-brain/left brain balancing act as an artist. I've enjoyed talking to the artists whom I've interviewed for the  past three issues -- and the good news is that I'll have an article about my "rainbow" prints with water color crayons and polymer in an upcoming article, the first writing I've done for QA that will be about my own work!

    But, since this one was also the cover story, that's a pretty nice accomplishment, too!
