Describe your approach to teaching?
I like to teach individuals, allowing them to flourish at their own
pace. My approach is to reveal the fundamentals of technique and to
facilitate students exploring their own interests.
What inspires your work?
My own work is inspired by the creative process, practice and by
journeys, both internal and external. My current work is
interlacing themes and meditations on the intangible.
