Describe your approach to teaching:

My courses are about encouraging students to develop ways in which to generate a personal visual language through a variety of materials and processes that include drawing and making.

What inspires your own work?

My own work has many starting points but at its heart is a ritual of making and unmaking that is about exploring the relationship between process, material and imagery.
