About the Author
Presently, I am 77 years of age, having practiced law until the age of 65. Approximately 12 years ago, I read an article in Organic Gardening Magazine that described how to make containers using ¼" hardware cloth, and then coated with concrete. This sounded interesting and I decided to make some objects, which process is called Ferro cement or Ferro concrete.
I made 4 artifacts and decided that I enjoyed doing this.
I then went all out and made my elephant, which graces the cover of my book.
Now some 12 years later, I have become quite proficient in the Ferro concrete method of sculpture and feel that I can import some information to aspiring sculptors or amateurs on what to do cheaply and easily.
Approximately 7 years ago, I commenced working on my Coral Reef, which presently consists of 76 Coral Islands, populated with numerous fish and sea creatures and sits on over 2 surface acres of land, with work in progress.
I laughingly allude to myself as the greatest unrecognized self-proclaimed Ferro Concrete Sculptor in the world.
