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.

    Blessed ...

    DateThursday, December 2, 2010 at 05:02PM

    And after that, perhaps we also need this:

    • Blessed are those who are willing to enter into the process of being healed, for they will become healers.
    • Blessed are those who recognize their own inner violence, for they will come to know nonviolence.
    • Blessed are those who can forgive self, for they will become forgivers.
    • Blessed are those who are willing to let go of selfishness and self-centredness, for they will become a healing presence.
    • Blessed are those who listen with compassion, for they will become compassionate.
    • Blessed are those who are willing to enter into conflict, for they will find transformation.
    • Blessed are those who know their interdependence with all of creation, for they will become unifiers.
    • Blessed are those who live a contemplative life stance, for they will find God in all things.
    • Blessed are those who strive to live these beatitudes, for they will be reconcilers.
