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 on Flow and Pause -- With Paula Owen

    DateFriday, January 27, 2012 at 09:08AM

    Pause / Flow from Mark & Angela Walley on Vimeo.

     

    Here's a lovely video piece featuring Southwest School of Art director Paula Owen that relates to our recent musings on flow, focus and what feeds the mind. If Paula can get to the studio, so can I, so can you!

    And another pitch for creating a series!

    Exactly!!! I am doing well with focus this week, thanks to a very high demand week, but will test the whole affair next week. At least I managed to get in my 3 blogs!

    Thanks for sharing the video. I too am trying to be more focused; but, I need to play in the studio at good part of the time right now. It is great therapy.

    Susan -- YOU gotta get playing, girl. The "products"will come when they will, but not without play, reflection, time to imagine and try things out.
