Describe your approach to teaching.
My approach to teaching is to demonstrate the wide range of
possibilities available to us all through the use of alternative
materials, both organic and manmade. I actively encourage the
individual to take risks, to explore and to experiment. To find
alternative, liberating, exciting methods.
What inspires your own work?
Colour is always emotive and is one of the most important elements
of my work. In addition to colour I'm permanently engaged in
conversation between directional and static shapes and marks. I
have a family of artists that I draw inspiration from: Cy Twombly,
Christopher Wool, Jo Davenport and Emilio Vedova.
