My ambient good-natured character, alongside rigorous interdisciplinary research and holistic experience, has provided knowledge and inspiration for many of all ages and abilities with interest in this growing dimension of personal creative expression.

What inspires your work?
Whatever we think or believe about the condition of the contemporary world, open-minded creative contact with the materials and processes with which it is made can only further enrich and inform our lives.
