Paul started woodturning in 1983 when he became aware of the wonderful grains and patterns existing in nature’s woods. Attendance of seminars by internationally known woodturners provided his constantly honed skills, coupled with his drive to remain eclectic results in his unique designs. He received a NICHE award, many others at Colorado Art shows, been published in Woodturning magazines, and has displayed in prestigious festivals such as the Bellevue Arts Fair and Cherry Creek Arts Festival. Paul is best known for his signature Zippered Vessels.
