Describe your approach to teaching.

My approach to teaching includes many demonstrations as well as some more formal lectures, along with personal advice, instructions and feedback.

What inspires your own work?

My work is inspired by the beauty of nature, the colours in the garden and the way light plays on the bright hues of flowers, foliage and fruit.
