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.

    Fiber Art Exhibit in Round Top, Texas

    I'm honored to be included in this year's Fiber Art Exhibit at Copper Shade Tree Gallery in Round Top. It's a fun daytrip from SA, Austin or San Antonio, so I hope many of you will be able to see the show, and hopefully attend the opening!

    I have three pieces created specifically for the exhibit (as do all the other artists included). 

    Gerald and Debbie run one of the most artist-friendly and collector-friendly galleries I know of -- so they deserve both a round of applause and an art-outing to visit. (PS: You can also visit the new Texas Quilt Museum in La Grange on the same outing if you go Thursday through Saturday.)
