Teacher Statement

I believe that the student’s best route to success in the arts will come through...
- Subjecting one’s work to the toughest scrutiny, by oneself and by others
- Developing steady, consistent work habits.
- Creating a studio environment where the highest degree of concentration is possible.
- Enjoyment of the creative process, with its moments of exhilaration as well as frustration.
