About the Art:

Working with mostly 14-16 gauge raw steel, Fred cuts, hand hammers, and welds the metal to create sea life, bringing an aquatic feel to homes, offices, and gardens. He often begins the rusting process to give a more weathered appearance and to enhance the contours and shapes of a piece. No two pieces are ever the same, (so yours is one of a kind!), and variations in color and texture add to the overall character of his work. The Sea Turtle is suitable for use both inside and outdoors. If displayed outdoors, the turtle will continue to rust beautifully in the elements; but If you wish to reduce further rusting, we suggest applying a clear mat lacquer which will need to be reapplied over time. Each turtle has a circular ring on the back with 8 nail holes, so you are able to make your turtle swimming any direction you like!
