I believe this is the third time teaching for Madeline Island School of the Arts at their “winter campus” in the New Mexico city of Santa Fe. I arrived in Santa Fe a day before I was to meet with my fabric collage students, giving me Saturday afternoon and most of Sunday to explore the city.
In future posts I’ll introduce the students and their fantastic fabric collage work, but for now I offer you this Dispatch from this artistic and inspirational town. Come along with me as I explore, window shop and visit the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.
For more pics of Santa Fe, see my previous visits in these four posts here, here, here, and here.
DISPATCH:
A message or report sent in haste, like a journalist’s report from a distant location.
It was very hot in Santa Fe when I arrived, but as the sun went down, I was ready for a walk around town.
On my third visit to Santa Fe with MISA, I had a chance to visit the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.
Outside the museum, I was introduced to this tiny little rescue dog from Phoenix, who is also visiting Santa Fe, with her rescuer.
Early morning, “window shopping” series. You may notice that the reflections capture some of the old west style architecture.
More window shopping…
A preview of the class projects and students. To be seen in detail in an upcoming post.
Terre Tuzzolino and I toasting an espresso as we did when we first met last October in my class in Italy and outdoor dining at Oaxaca restaurant for authentic Mexican food.
As this lands in your Inbox or Facebook feed, I am getting ready to board my plane back home. Fingers crossed that the TSA security lines won’t be too long.
Thank you for all the great photos of Santa Fe. What a treat!
WOW!! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to more !

I just saw the blog post and am looking at the photos smiling, as I am sitting at home reflecting on a week at Susan’s fabric collage workshop through MISA in Santa Fe.
It was a week full of learning from a fabulous artist, a patient, skilled teacher and a delightful person. Susan’s advice, coaching and encouragement to use my budding knowledge about value, color and shadowing (“well, what do you think…”), left me with tools which will help me finish my class project Gecko Fruitsalad (“Fruity”). I am excited for my next projects for which ideas are already forming in my head.
It was also a week full of laughter (so much laughter !), new friends, camaraderie, support and learning from each other.
Erin and Christy from MISA made it happen so smoothly, the Santa Fe MISA Campus (Hilton) was great, and the Santa Fe weather cooperated beautifully.
My battery is recharged and I am looking forward to my next class with Susan, and to seeing my lovely class mates somewhere along the fabric trail.
