Describe your approach to teaching
While teaching I try to provide an understanding of the structures and mechanisms of painting, thereby supporting each individual’s own style and aspirations.
What inspires your own work?
I am inspired by the Arts, visual, musical and literary. The depiction of the face throughout time, including the faces at the doors of Chartres Cathedral and the Fayum portraits.
