Describe your approach to teaching:
My approach to teaching is based on the sharing of my experience as an artist and by encouraging students to see the creative potential in the most simplest of techniques.

What inspires your own work?
My work reflects a preoccupation with the repetitive nature of process, exploring the subtle differences that emerge through ritualistic and habitual making. In addition, the mapping of space and marking time and form are central themes.
