BIOGRAPHY

DSC00880.JPG

Dear visitor,

​

My name is Leo C. Reinhard and I am twenty-two years old. I have been creating objects using copper wire ever since I was introduced to it in a workshop at a museum in 2010.  Since then I have made many things - ornaments, mobiles, and bookmark faces.  But since the start, kinetic sculptures have been the heart of my work. They continue to fascinate me.  Each one is unique. Each sculpture's form and design emerge in my hands as I make them. I love to see people's faces as they watch the marbles move. My sculptures delight the child in me and I think in others too.  

I live in Lebanon, NH.  You can find me at my booth at the Annual League of New Hampshire Craftsmen's Fair in August as a newly juried member. The fair is home to a community of brilliant artists.  I had the privilege to be a part  of the community in the Next Generation Tent since I was ten years old.  The many craftspeople in the League who encourage and mentor me as a young artist have made all the difference to me and my ever deepening sense of wonder and joy from my art.  

I am originally from Switzerland and have spent three years in New Hampshire, one year in New York and Costa Rica. After spending a Semester with my first love - Biology - at the University of Zürich, I’ve decided to focus all my energy on my art. I am now working full time in Lebanon NH, which will hopefully lead to lots of swirling, dancing marbles and smiles.
