"I like to turn people on to art and bring art into their lives. I find satisfaction in sharing my knowledge with others, so teaching comes naturally to me. I believe that everyone has a part of them that is creative, but in order to express that you need to develop your skills.
Initially when you get into painting, the driving force is the excitement and joy of it. I then find that teaching in a natural way is the best thing, just learning the basics. Later, when you'll want to push and develop yourself and get more into the depth of things, then my teaching will be more technically specific and tuned to what level you're at."
