Through my teaching, I strive to create an enthusiasm which will lead my students into a personal search that is connected to their own life experiences. As an artist teaching art, I encourage students to critically question their choices, to welcome and trust their intuition, and to take risks. By nourishing individual thinking and creating an environment in which art can be
enthusiastically appreciated and constructively criticized, I hope to spark the beginning of a lasting cycle which involves a fresh way of seeing and a self-motivated quest for knowledge.
