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.

    I posted this video on my Facebook page a couple of weeks ago; never do I listen and watch without a feeling of unbelievable, overwhelming pure joy flooding over, around and through me. So many message in this piece, so much about the value of everything, but most of all the value of the people of this, our Mother Earth. Thank you for giving to me a visit once again to that place where my heart space is opened fully wide.

    This really touched me and is so impressive. My goodness, what they could find in the landfills here!

    Thanks Pat, I think it was such a wonderful video. I am looking forward to seeing it they make a documentary about the project.
