Describe your approach to teaching?

I like to teach individuals, allowing them to flourish at their own pace. My approach is to reveal the fundamentals of technique and to facilitate students exploring their own interests.

What inspires your work?

My own work is inspired by the creative process, practice and by journeys, both internal and external. My current work is interlacing themes and meditations on the intangible.
