Describe your approach to teaching:
My approach to teaching is experimental and playful. I encourage my students to push their boundaries, think outside the box and be original as each student is unique in his/her own way.

What inspires your own work?
I desire to create a space of contemplation to experience inner peace and beauty in a busy world. I am inspired by the Byzantine icon paintings and the natural world around us.
