I have always balanced my professional artistic career with teaching. It can be tricky and I sometimes doubt my balancing skills, but so far, I have come out standing and am still creating new work.

I am in the middle of a teaching term at the moment and find that the rythm of the school year both stimulating and challenging. I like the feeling of project work/seasonal work. I also like the test of my fundamental skills in my field. I need to know it inside out in the classroom and I take this confidence with me into the studio, when I get there. It is an interesting combination; let us continue to see how these worlds influence one another.
