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 Gallery Opening

    DateSunday, February 5, 2012 at 06:33PM

    Just a few photos from the jam-packed opening, and the  interesting and always inspiring art from other Texas artists who participated:

    Houston artist Peggy Sexton next to one wall of art -- the turquoise and yellow cactus piece is mine.

     

    A gloomy, but still not too cool afternoon. The weather did not keep the crowds away!

    This one, Agave and Madrone Leaves, is the piece I have in the show catalog -- you can buy it from Gerald and Debbie on line at the gallery site.

    My large piece about the summer's drought in the middle above.

    The two two orange and magenta pieces on this wall are Lisa Kerpoe's work.

    Susie --

    It was great seeing you at the opening over in Round Top. You were much better than I at taking the photos -- I got distracted by the art and the people! The show is up until March 4th and it's a feast for the eyes!
