Approach to teaching
My approach to teaching is to facilitate experimentation and allow students to embrace the ‘trial and error’ nature of printmaking, whilst offering technical guidance and suggestions for further development.
What inspires your work
I am interested in gestural marks and surface residue, combined with printed or collaged elements. I tend to work instinctively and discover the image whilst working, although recurring themes shift and reappear through painterly abstraction.
