Describe your approach to teaching
I enjoy demonstrating techniques and then working individually with students to share ideas and help them to realise their projects.

What inspires your own work?
I am inspired by a desire to create environments that stimulate conversation and relaxation. I enjoy meeting other practitioners and exploring natural sources of colour and sculptural forms.
