Describe your approach to teaching:
I am keen to pass on techniques tools and skills, so you may be
free to develop past the technique towards individual freedom and
style. The teaching is multi-layered: teaching each individual
student whilst maintaining group cohesion and purpose..
What inspres your own work?
Light, colour and nature inspires my work. I never tire of the
human figure which forms the basis of most of my work.
