Describe your approach to teaching
My approach is very hands on, with an emphasis on the fundamentals of design and how the medium of pebble mosaic can be used to express your own artistic vision.
What inspires your own work?
I am inspired by the eternal nature of pebbles, forged by the elements over millennia, now making an artwork that will be there for hundreds, if not thousands of years.
