My biggest goal is to empower people to trust their own inner taste and artistic personality, rather than trying to fit into some preconceived channel.

For each person there’s a different path to learn how to trust one’s own voice.

But I believe it’s with encouragement, curiosity and some daring, that most students lock into something they can truly be passionate about, and have fun with.

Techniques can facilitate the journey, but ultimately the propelling engine is one’s genuine passion and excitement about the journey.

If it’s not liberating, and electrifying, art rarely shares its gifts.

And as important it is to not be in one’s own way emotionally and artistically, so it is to not do so physically. It’s paramount to not let tension, fear, and the desire for control, dull what our technical abilities can ultimately achieve.
