Counting the days—Jesse Amado memorializes Linda Pace at the
Main Library
At 10 a.m. Sunday morning, a rumpled and unshaven man sat on the pavement of the sunny patio of the main branch of the San Antonio Public Library, his back to the ethereal, baubly spectacle emerging on the other side of the windowpanes. The entrance doors were locked - “It don’t open up till 11,” the guy informed me - but through the glass I could see the people installing “Days,” Jesse Amado’s tribute to Linda Pace, who would have turned 65 this April 17...

CHRISpark receives Honor Award for landscaping
In the late 1980s, Linda Pace started a landscape business in San Antonio called Green Expectations. For seven years, Linda channeled her desire to create art into designing lawns and landscapes. She relished the work because it allowed her to focus on design principles and the natural world. Therefore, Linda would have been especially proud that Jon Ahrens and Rosa Finley, the landscape architects who worked with Linda in 2002 to design CHRISpark were selected in March 2010 by the Texas chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects for an honor award for their professional achievement on CHRISpark. The park, once an asphalt parking lot, is now an inviting natural space with a unique mix of plants, terrain and artwork. It has inspired green building development in San Antonio and brought nature back to life on the southern edge of downtown.

Drive, She Said
Perhaps because she didn't pursue her passion until later in life, Linda Pace threw herself into the art world with a fiery intensity. Between her decision in the late 1980's to collect, fund, and create art and her death in 2007 from breast cancer, the San Antonio-based Pace Foods salsa heiress transformed herself into one of the most influential women in contemporary art—it was her ...
