Describe your approach to teaching.

My approach to teaching is to show students of all levels they too can produce a very special form of bookart that will amuse (even astound) their friends

What inspires your own work?

Even after 3500 paintings I am still amused that a detailed painstaking painting can be made to dissappear and re-appear by magic. I am dedicated to enabling this 'endangered craft' to continue and thrive.
