Describe your approach to teaching
I like to help students overcome self-limiting beliefs. I encourage interactive participation whilst demonstrating painting techniques, mixing, colour theory and ways of seeing. I like to guide rather than dictate.
What inspires your own work?
The paintings have a specific message. I require them to have power and energy. I seek a response from my audience. They are a call to action.
