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.

    More about El Salvador

    DateSunday, September 26, 2010 at 11:06PM

    A parade down a quiet street in San Salvador this morning -- raindrops on the window are testament to the weather here, thanks to the hurricane across Central America.

    Think of this blog entry as a collection of personal research with links to sites with information and resources:

    .:CIA World Factbook -- El Salvador 

    .:Discover El Salvador

    .:Pequeños Hoteles

    .:Lonely Planet El Salvador

    PS: El Salvador made the Lonely Planet's list of "the top 10 countries for 2010" 

    If it ever stops raining I think I will be able to see more! And we worked a lot today. If you are interested in more about schools and education in El Salvador, see the posterous blog, "What can a school be? Que puede ser la escuela?"
