Biography/Artist Statement

I have been fascinated by kaleidoscopes my whole life. After a crude attempt at building one as a change of pace from making furniture, I was hooked. When I decided to get serious and step up my craft, I drew from my woodworking background to make my scopes. The two things I like most about making kaleidoscopes are the combining of the multiple disciplines needed in their construction, and the first time I get to look through my latest creation.
