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.

    "Copper Shade Tree Expansion"

    We finally made it happen. After discussions about a new expansion, Copper Shade Tree has just about doubled in size. We were given the opportunity to acquire additional space in The Stone Cellar, and we took their offer. The front room of The Stone Cellar was the wine room. They moved the wine to the cellar and it looks fantastic. 

    The Art in Fiber 2011 show was the premier opening in the new room. Make plans for a visit to Round Top and stop by to see the new look.
