Teaching Art is a fullfilling experience as I find myself engaging with creative minds. The challenge is always to be able to communicate a creative aspect across, due to its nature, art is usually beyond expression in words. It is the practical aspect I enjoy about teaching art.
I am most inspired when i work with "sidelined" students. Art is a great why for self realisation and confidence boosting.

My main focus is painting. From this central point I work with other media such as video, sculpture, animation and performance. This culminates in a practice that is both experimental while being both rich and diverse in content.
