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.

    Art Cloth Forever

    DateWednesday, October 12, 2011 at 03:10PM


    We 22 brave souls are meeting in St. Petersburg this weekend at the umpteenth Art Cloth Network meeting for our annual show-and-tell and a not-too-painful business meeting.

    we've been bumped from our Hampton Inn meeting room across the street to the SP Yacht Club, and it's quite nice if small, but a great poolside view over the marina.

    What's even more spectacular to see is the array of art cloth shared by the artists. I'll try to get permission from the artists to add some of their work to this blog. Meanwhile check out the website at http://www.artclothnetwork.com.

    What is art cloth?
    It is cloth transformed by adding or subtracting color, line, shape, texture, value, or fiber to create a compelling surface.
