Describe your approach to teaching
I will introduce you to theories and techniques fuelling your curiosity and thirst to express yourself in a unique and personal way. You will be guided and encouraged to explore with confidence your own journey.

What inspires your own work?
I am fascinated by how the brain recognises letter shapes, what we perceive as beautiful and the magnificence of international mark-making. My life experiences, combined with the respect and care I have for my tools, materials, and working environment have given me the confidence to push the boundaries of my own abilities.
