Describe your approach to teaching.

My aim is to encourage students to observe, be curious, experimental and evaluate outcomes to expand their understanding of processes and help identify what resonates with them

What inspires your own work?  

Drawn to coastal landscape, observing the nuances of colour from the shifting light; solitary walking is fundamental to my creativity, experiencing the elements & repetitive rhythms of nature first hand.
