“The thing I always tell my students is to ‘celebrate their awkwardness’. A student may have the best color-sense since Gauguin, but may not have strong drawing skills, for instance. I push my students to work with both their strengths AND weaknesses. Often people have a very unique awkwardness that is totally them and beautiful but they’re afraid to show it. It is my job is to bring it out and show them it can be their strength.”
