Describe your approach to teaching
My teaching approach is to share my love of natural art materials via both traditional and novel methods. I encourage students’ questions and experimentation so they gain skills and confidence.

What inspires your own work?
I am inspired by the seasonality and local variation of foraged art materials, the abundance of nature and the generosity of my colleagues and teachers, both human and non-human.
