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.

    Have iPad will Travel

    DateTuesday, January 15, 2013 at 09:24PM

    Teaching this week in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the weather a balmy ( for them) 16 above zero today -- and weather above freezing yesterday! But whatever the temperature, the people are warm, welcoming and, with six participants in the workshop, we're open and eager to play digitally.

    We've covered a number of journaling apps today, then, went on to drawing and sketching, with a few fun specialty art apps thrown in for good measure (check out Tile Deck and Doodle Dandy). Tomorrow we'll be looking at various ways to create images for thermofax screen designs, and a bit on photo editing, then close with using designs as direct prints, for digital printing services, and finish up with to make some fast notes, like this one, on da.vinci.

    More photos of the group and our work tomorrow!

    These photos are amazing, I can see what you meant by "everything looks like a black and white photo" Let's invite everyone to defrost in San Antonio around late August!
