"My approach to teaching is catering to the needs and interests
of each individual within the bounds of the technique at hand. I
encourage people to be playful with their work, and enjoy the
process. My work is inspired by the visual richness of the land in
which I live, and its history. Architecture, antiquated objects,
and the designs of nature also stimulate my imagination."
