What is your approach to teaching?
My approach is to seek to express my love of animals in my work, capturing behaviour and signifying conservation undertones through decorative embellishment. It's an exploration I capture in my passion for ceramics.
What is inspires your own work?
I am inspired by animals great and small. I am drawn to capture individual stories, narrative and unique characters in my work.
