Describe your approach to teaching

My teaching approach is enthusiastic. My subject is exciting and I enjoy sharing this with my students. Watching them gain in confidence and develop their skill is a great reward.

What inspires your work

I am inspired by Sussex, the beauty of its land, sky and seascapes, the colours, textures patterns and forms. Pebble, wave, plough lines as pattern. The changing seasonal palette.
