Describe your approach to teaching:

I am an enthusiastic tutor and believe in learning the skills of drawing and painting as a foundation to working in a lively and free style.

What inspires your own work?

My own work is inspired by nature and landscape. I create subtle depth in my paintings by working in layers, often taking many months to complete a picture.
