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.

    Wowie -- A top rating with Interweave

    Here's what showed up on the interweave newsletter today! My DVD Workshop was one of five products featured as a "top-rated product" from those who have bought the DVD.

    "At Interweave, we strive to provide the highest quality publications and designs to help inspire your creativity. Of the thousands of products at the Interweave Store, these are some of the most popular.

    But don't take our word for it, here is what our customers have to say:


            "I really enjoyed this video! The artist is friendly and relaxed, and demonstrates her technique clearly. She creates a good balance of instruction and encouragement, skill and creativity. . . . It's a wonderful introduction to screen printing, and opens the way for experimenting and playing with the technique and materials."

    — Jeanne D., Interweave Store Customer
    on Mixed-Media Textile Art

    P.S. I just looked and figured out it doesn't take too many comments to get that great rating! If you've seen my DVD, please follow the links above to the site and leave your comments. I hope to make this the first of many Interweave activities!
