Describe your approach to teaching
My approach to teaching is very laid-back and informal. I like it to be interactive, fun and light, but also hugely informative.

What inspires your own work?
My own work is inspired by an arts background. I love the play between chaos and control to create emotive restful spaces that respect the past but push forward.
