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.

    Walking in Stones

    DateMonday, May 21, 2012 at 09:31AM

    Galicia is as unlike ones stereotypes of Spain as it could be. The music is Celtic with its own harp and bagpipes, the lanes are green, green, green. The stones here are slate grey and rich browns and all is covered with mosses, succulents and wild flowers as thick and varied as a good Texas spring.

    We are staring day four of our slow easy last 100 k of the Camino de Santiago, we will be on the way until next Saturday when we will attend the Pilgrim 's mass at the cathedral where relics of Saint James are venerated.

    Internet service is a bit sketchy so my posts will be sporadic, but once home I will upload a PDF of my trip journal for anyone interested.
