Describe your approach to teaching:
My approach to teaching is to provide interesting techniques and
structure but also to listen to the needs of the students and meet
them in that place. It is my hope that each person will arrive open
to new ideas and ready to engage in a self-expressive, hands on
experience with the ideas presented.
What inspires your own work?
The forms of the natural world…the clever seed pod, the designs of
the human body, floppy microorganisms and the unruly stash of
detritus that surrounds me in my studio-all have a voice in my
creative process.
