Describe your approach to teaching.
My approach to teaching is to show students of all levels they
too can produce a very special form of bookart that will amuse
(even astound) their friends
What inspires your own work?
Even after 3500 paintings I am still amused that a detailed
painstaking painting can be made to dissappear and re-appear by
magic. I am dedicated to enabling this 'endangered craft' to
continue and thrive.
