Describe your approach to teaching
My approach is to give a solid technical grounding while allowing
creativity and spontaneity to happen. Above all enjoying what you
do is the most potent tool of all.
What inspires your own work?
I am inspired by the potential inherent in the material, the impact
of various tools to effect change upon that material and by any
opportunity to pursue the elusive muse .
