Describe your approach to teaching:
Relaxed - with printmaking you learn by practicing, experimenting
and making mistakes along the way. My job is to inspire and guide
people along this path with the benefit of my experience.
What inspires your own work?
Old photographs, films and books, collage, texture and
materials.
My own photographs and drawings and computer manipulations. The
process of discovery. The process of transformation. The endless
possibilities when combining all of the above.
