I am a studio arts graduate of Trinity University and have lived in San Antonio and the Hill Country since the 1960s., working as an art educator at Trinity’s Learning About Learning Educational Foundation, as a journalist and an exhibit designer of the original San Antonio Children’s Museum. My work is in public and private collections here and across the county. I also teach in person and online. particularly Art on the iPad and other digital design media.After earning a B.A. in Studio Arts, 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 couple of decades ago, took the scary but essential (for me) leap to become a full time artist and art teacher.

I am a regional representative for Studio Art Quilt Associates, an international group that advocates for the inclusion of fiber and art quilts specifically, as a fine arts genre.

Artist, teacher, writer
Wife, daughter, sister
Traveler, reader, iPad lover

Maker,  author, head cook and bottlewasher.

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).

I am a textile artist whose work reflects the cultures of our Borderlands and the inner life of the artist. My work includes both surface designed original fabrics as well as digital designed art work. Working within the tradition of quilting, I explore new and imaginative ways to use fabric, photographs and layering in my textile collages.
