Describe your approach to teaching:
I am hands-on, experimental with a strong emphasis on using found materials and inventive applications of textile and mixed media processes as part of the exploration of developing a 'creative language'
What inspires your own work?
Space, Place and Trace... landscape and the world within my footsteps. Visual, social, as well as climatic change. Ideas expressed with found materials, paint, cloth and stitch gathered as travel and work.
