Describe your approach to teaching
My aim is to encourage students to observe, be curious and open-minded, expanding their understanding of various processes to help them identify what resonates with them.

What inspires your own work?
I am drawn to coastal landscapes, northern light, human marks that map the land, repetitive rhythms of nature, observing, gathering and recording geology colours. Textures provide endless inspiration
