Describe your approach to teaching
Practical instruction, followed by group discussions, and one-to-one guidance. Students are given plenty of opportunities to share their thoughts and ideas with myself and each other.
What inspires your own work?
I enjoy opportunities to see the world anew, hence my love of close-up photography and abstract interpretations of the natural landscape.
