Describe your approach to teaching:
I believe that drawing is a visual language with which we can articulate our ideas and observations. I aim to teach core skills, helping students to draw more competently and confidently.
What inspires your own work?
I am inspired by my interactions with people, by the stories we tell one another and by a curiosity about the world.
