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.

    Trash Bags and Hot Air

    DateWednesday, January 19, 2011 at 04:15PM

    You may have already seen this -- it's gone viral rather quickly, but I thought it worth passing along! Just another reminder that art is all around. It needn't take a lot of money to make. That sometimes a passing fancy can add wonder and imagination to everyday life. This guy didn't bother to ask permission or ask someone to pay, he just expressed and idea, took a little whimsey to the streets, and, gee, now something like 2 million people have seen him on YouTube. Makes you think.
