Describe your approach to teaching
My approach is to inform, showing examples and possibilities during the introduction. I encourage students to experiment with the introduced techniques, playfully apply colours and reach their full potential in a friendly and inclusive way.
What inspires your own work?
I find inspiration in nature. I love analysing patterns while looking closer at archival prints and drawings.
