Instructing enthusiastic students has shown me a pure joy in sharing skills which can be tought, thereby enabling people to find and realize their unique visions and natural talents. I have developed methods of shortcutting unnecessary learning in order to give students the specific skills that are required in order to enable them to pursue their dreams and ambitions. There is a beauty to this that is often overlooked in the professional fine arts.
